If I do not hire an injury attorney, can I handle the claim on my own?
A
Sure, but you should expect that you will probably be taken advantage of by the insurance company and will end up getting less money that you deserve. For minor claims (such as car wrecks with very little damage to the automobiles), it is possible to handle your claim on your own. But if you have a serious injury, then you are much better off with an attorney. We know how to prepare the evidence, handle the case, work the negotiations--plus we have the leverage of the great American jury trail system. If you go at it alone, you are basically going to a gun fight with out a gun. Not smart.
