Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney? Ask Yourself These Questions to Decide

There is nothing about an accident that’s easy. Whether it was a car accident or a drowning accident – or another type of accident entirely – there’s a lot to do. You have phone calls to make, paperwork to fill out, insurance adjustors to deal with, and doctors to see. Then you have the pain and suffering, plus the issues with work, whether it involves missing just a few hours for doctor appointments or miss days or weeks at a time.

This can be such a frustrating time that it may seem tempting to simply sign whatever offer the insurance company offers. The reality is that it’s often better to reach out to a personal injury attorney first. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we offer a free case evaluation. You don’t need to decide if we can help you – just call us and let us go over your options. But first, read on to learn the reasons that you may need to hire a personal injury attorney.

Do you want the process to be easier?

For the most part, dealing with the accident will become much easier when you are working with a personal injury attorney. In fact, the only time it’s not a good idea is if your case doesn’t need one. After all, not every single accident requires the services of an attorney. In fact, you’re not required to hire one in any case. That said, most people who’ve hired an attorney say that it’s much easier and less stressful once they’ve done so.

Ask yourself these questions to decide what to do

As you’re considering whether or not your accident was serious enough to reach out to an attorney, ask yourself the following questions. If you answer “yes” to any of them then it’s worth giving us a call at 909-982-0707 for a free consultation:

  • Have you suffered injuries?
  • Was someone killed in the accident?
  • Were there a lot of damages?
  • Were you or another person sent to the hospital?
  • Are you looking at large medical bills as a result of the accident?
  • Will you need ongoing medical or rehabilitative care as a result of the accident?
  • Does the accident involve a series of complicated facts?
  • Do you want as much compensation as you’re entitled to?
  • Are you distrustful of the insurance company?
  • Do you want the peace of mind that you’ve done everything you can?

If you read through that list and answered yes to just one question then we welcome you to call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free consultation. During this consultation we’ll go over the basics of your case. You’re under no obligation to hire us – this is purely an informational meeting.
