Technically speaking, you don’t. But here are the problems with going it alone.
You don’t know when to try to settle your case. You need money now, but you are still hurting, and you don’t know whether settling now will hurt you later. (Probably, you will hurt yourself by settling while you are still hurting.)
You don’t know what your case is worth.
You don’t know how long you have before you have to file suit.
The insurance people keep calling and asking you if you are ready to settle. You feel like you are obligated to try to settle with them, but you don’t know if it’s the right thing to do.
When the insurance people call, you feel uncomfortable talking with them, and you don’t want to seem like you are greedy. You are afraid of saying something that will hurt you.
You don’t want to talk to the insurance people at all, but they keep calling you. You just want to get better.
You don’t know who you should send the bills to – the insurance for the people who caused the accident, your health insurance, or your auto insurance. You don’t know the ways you can get money now without settling the whole case. This may not be an option – but most people don’t know how to get the most out of available insurance, when they need it.
And here may be the best part; while attorneys charge a fee, in my experience they nearly always get you enough more to make up for it.
If you’re reading this, you obviously are interested in what you see. So why don’t you give me, a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer, a call.
I can probably give you an answer that will tell you more than anything you can read on a website or a blog.
If it makes you feel better, other lawyers refer their clients to me. And if you decide you‘d rather hire someone else, that’s OK. My phone is 513-621-4775.
Because all situations are different, and because there may be other facts pertaining to your case that I don’t know about, you should not rely on this answer for legal advice. I am not your attorney, and no lawyer client relationship has been formed. All discussions are limited to Ohio law unless otherwise indicated. And past performance cannot be used to predict future results.
