For victims of car crashes, the medical and insurance process that follows the wreck can seem overwhelming. You may be receiving medical bills, going to doctors, and the insurance company may be calling and sending you letters. If you feel it is time to get legal help for your case, I am a car accident lawyer in Boston that can help you with your case. In fact, having a lawyer can greatly help you.

But why should you hire legal help? Why not just handle the whole process by yourself? We understand you may be facing these questions.  Here are some reasons why it makes good sense to hire a car accident lawyer.

A Lawyer Has Experience With These Cases

A qualified personal injury lawyer has likely handled cases just like yours before. The attorney therefore knows how to help coordinate your medical treatment; make sure medical bills get paid; handle all communications with the insurance company; and perhaps most importantly, negotiate a full and fair settlement of your claim. The attorney knows how to position your case so that everything is taken care of. This gives you piece of mind, knowing that all of your rights are being protected and advanced by your attorney.

You Will Get A Higher Settlement

Insurance companies love when people don’t have legal representation for a car accident claim. That is be because they know if you higher a lawyer, they will have to pay you a higher settlement. Studies have shown that claimants that have counsel end up getting higher settlements. In fact, even after the attorney fee is deducted at the end of the case, those with representation obtain higher settlements than if they had handled their case on their own.

The Lawyer Only Gets Paid If There Is A Settlement

One of the best reasons for hiring an attorney is that you don’t have to pay anything upfront. That is because the contingency fee allows for the attorney to get paid only if there is a settlement. Also, the attorney advances all case expenses such as the costs of obtaining your medical records and medical bills, and any litigation expenses if a lawsuit is filed.

With contingency fee cases, since there is no guarantee of a settlement, the lawyer carries risk (spending time working a case with no assurance of getting paid at the end), but you don’t have any risk yourself with this contingent fee arrangement.
