Is an Attorney Needed?
An injured person might ask himself or herself whether an attorney is really needed to handle a claim asserting personal injury or some other wrongful act. The short answer to this question is that the person that caused injury or loss will have an attorney, including the seemingly nice insurance adjuster that wants you to take $1500 to walk away from a claim worth 50 times that amount. The longer answer is there are many facets of claims for personal injury and other wrongful acts, together with the claims process that they require, which are not self-evident and that a good attorney will help you understand and navigate to your benefit. Persons, corporations, or governments acting wrongfully and causing injury or loss will have their own attorneys to defeat legitimate claims, and a person who has suffered injury or other loss need an attorney simply to level the playing field.
