4 Common Reasons People Make the Mistake of Not Hiring a Personal Injury AttorneyIf there’s one thing that’s true of every accident a person is involved in during which they are injured and someone else is partially responsible, it’s that they should contact a personal injury attorney. However, this is not always the case. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas we’ve worked with many clients from the moment they got hurt, and we’ve worked with clients who don’t call us until they’re in final negotiations with the insurance company.

No matter where you are in the process, we urge you to contact an attorney. You can start with a free legal consultation from us by calling 909-982-0707. Read on to learn about some of the reasons you may be considering not hiring an attorney and understand that it’s in your best interest to do so.

  1. They’re not sure if they need an attorney and they’re afraid to ask
  2. Believe it or not, most people are somewhat afraid to contact a personal injury attorney. In many cases, they’re nervous because they don’t know what’s going to happen or they are worried that they don’t have a case. Others may worry about having to pay an attorney just for calling them.

    Let us reassure you that at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we are here to provide a free consultation and we mean just that. If you believe that you may have a case, then we urge you to call us and tell us about it. We will give you an honest assessment of your legal options.

  3. They don’t know a lawyer and they’ve never used one
  4. It’s also common for a person to simply have no idea how to find an attorney. They’ve never needed one in the past and they don’t know anyone who can recommend them. With so many options online, how can a person find the right attorney? The good news is that you’re already here. You can reach out to Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation. This allows you to learn more about our practice and find out what your options are before spending a penny.

  5. They don’t think they can afford a lawyer
  6. When you work with Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, there is no upfront cost to you. We start with a free legal consultation during which we learn about your case and present you with your legal options. If you decide to work with us, and we decide to take your case, then it will be on a contingency basis. That means that we handle all upfront court costs and you pay nothing to us until we win your case.

    What happens if we don’t win your case for you? We don’t get paid. As you can see, this gives us as much incentive as you have to win your case.

  7. The insurance company says you don’t need an attorney
  8. No matter what an insurance company tells you, you should be skeptical of it. Remember that they are there for one reason: To make money. They do not have your best interests in mind. If you want someone on your side who does have your best interests in mind, then contact Attorney Vargas today at 909-982-0707.
