There is nothing easy about being involved in a car accident. You have to deal with the injuries, having the property damage taken care of, phone calls, paperwork, insurance companies – not to mention the emotional distress that is so common. While this can feel very overwhelming, the truth is that having a personal injury attorney on your side can help relieve that pressure.
Read on to find out if it is time to contact an attorney. If you decide that it is, then we encourage you to contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker at 800-333-0000 for a free legal consultation.
Contact an attorney if any of the following are true
If your accident involved any of the following then you should contact an attorney:
- Serious injury
- Death
- Property damage of more than $1,000
- Large medical bills (or projected)
- Complicated facts
- A hospital visit
There are other times when you may want to contact an attorney even if none of the above are truth. For example, if you want to feel 100% confident that you are getting the compensation you deserve, if you want the peace of mind that everything is being taken care of correctly, or if you do not trust the insurance company.
What you should know about the insurance companies
The reality is that the insurance company, whether yours or the insurance provider of another party involved in the accident, does not have your best interests in mind. They are a business just like any other and they want to ensure their bottom line is protected. As a result, they are not likely to simply offer you an insurance settlement that covers everything. This is why you need an attorney – they are on your side.
A personal injury attorney is not too expensive for you
Polls have shown that the top reason that a person decides not to contact a personal injury attorney after an accident is because they believe that it will be too expensive, or that it will automatically include a long, drawn-out lawsuit. Neither is true. The fact is that at The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker we work on a contingency basis. This means that you only pay us when we win your case.
What happens if we do not win your case? Then you do not pay us a cent. Not only does this assure that everyone can afford the legal help they need, but it gives our clients the peace of mind that we will work tirelessly for them. After all, if we do not get the maximum compensation for you then we are not getting the maximum compensation for ourselves.
To find out what your legal options are we recommend calling our offices at 800-333-0000. We will begin with a free consultation during which we can assess whether or not you have a valid claim for a case.
