When to Call A Car Wreck Attorney

OK so you got in a car accident now what? Should you call a car wreck attorney or not? That is a very good question and one that needs to be addressed. Before I start let me tell you that this you should not be afraid to call a lawyer if you think you might need help. It is better to get help sooner than later, after you have a big mess on your hands.

You should call a attorney if:
  • There were serious injuries that lead to hospitalization
  • You suffer permanent injuries that result in emotional pain and missed work
  • When there are other vehicles involved in the accident or pedestrians.
  • When nobody admits responsibility
  • Disagree with police report that puts the blame on you
  • Need help with medical, legal or technical issues.
  • When there are problems with your insurance such as unpaid premiums.
  • When seeking advice or needing help with paperwork
  • Your claim is denied by the insurance company
  • You are sued by the other party involved in the accident
  • Need help with complicated facts and circumstances.
  • Disagreement with insurance company
As you can see there are many reasons to contact a car wreck attorney. However you don't always need to contact a lawyer. You wont need a lawyer if the accident is a small fender bender, if one of the parties involved admits responsibility and medical bills are of not much value. You also don't need a lawyer if you are satisfied with the insurance companies settlement. However If you need help or are unsure about anything involving the case you should call a car wreck attorney.
