Signs That Indicate You Need a Personal Injury Attorney for Your Case

- Your sustained traumatic injuries that resulted in a long recovery and high medical costs.
- The accident resulted in permanent disabilities or impairments.
- An insurance company or other party is blaming you for the cause of the accident or your injuries.
- Fault is being denied by the other parties involved in the case.
- Your child sustained injuries because of an accident or the negligence of another party.
- The insurance company or other party refuses to settle the claim for a fair amount.
- You are nearing the deadline for filing a lawsuit, and your case has not been settled.
- The insurance company is pressuring you to settle your claim before you complete medical treatment.
There may be other factors that could indicate you need to talk with a personal injury attorney.
