Do I Need a Lawyer for a Car Accident in Los Angeles?

Learn more about whether or not you should hire a lawyer for help with a California vehicle accident insurance claim.

When You Don’t Need to Hire a Lawyer

After an auto collision, you will be wondering how to receive compensation for your accident. You likely realize you can file an insurance claim, but do you need an attorney’s help with your claim?

If your accident was minor, such as is the case with fender benders, you probably won’t need an attorney’s assistance. Your injuries and damages will likely be minimal, so you can submit your claim with either your own insurance company or the other driver’s insurer, depending on who was to blame for the collision.

When You Do Need to Hire a Lawyer

If your accident and related injuries are serious, you will probably want to retain an injury attorney’s services. Your lawyer will help you in many ways: investigate your accident, gather proof of fault, identify your damages, negotiate with insurance companies, and possibly take your case to court.

The more serious your injuries are, the more you will need to receive a fair settlement to pay for the damages you’ve faced. Serious injuries require extensive medical care, and you could also be looking at lost income due to missed time from work.

For catastrophic injuries, you will need a settlement that pays for lost earning capacity, loss of your quality of life, and mental and emotional suffering, among other things.
