Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer for a Minor Car Accident?

Although it’s not legally required, we highly recommend contacting an attorney after suffering injuries in a car accident. Even a relatively minor collision can leave you with expensive medical bills and injuries that prevent you from working. Some types of “minor” accidents, like rear-end collisions, can also cause hidden injuries that don’t present symptoms until much later. An attorney can help you account for these types of long-term injuries and pursue fair compensation for you.

Additionally, a car accident attorney can negotiate and resolve disputes with insurers. Insurance companies often try to minimize or delay payments by shifting blame and disputing the severity of injuries. Attorneys can fight these negotiation tactics and hold insurers to their payment obligations.
