Do I need a personal injury lawyer?

Many people all around St. Louis who have recently been in auto accidents, slipped, fell, and hurt themselves, or any other kind of personal injury situation have asked themselves: do I really need to hire a personal injury lawyer?

How An Attorney Can Help Your Case

Our firm will be the first ones to admit that, in a number of situations, you can deal with insurance companies quite well without having to consult an attorney. Many smaller cases–fender-benders, car accidents where most damage was minor or cosmetic, or accidents where injuries were limited to bumps and bruises–are ones where a personal injury lawyer is usually not needed.

However, if any of the following circumstances applies to your case, an experienced personal injury attorney can be the difference between you getting the restitution you deserve and you potentially getting nothing at all:

• You suffered serious or disabling injuries as a result of your accident
• Insurance companies involved are denying, delaying, or low-balling your claim
• Multiple parties were involved in your accident
• Your vehicle sustained extensive damage or was totaled
• It is unclear who was at fault for your accident, and/or to what degree
