WHEN SHOULD YOU GET AN ATTORNEY FOR  A CAR ACCIDENT? PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION.

John Kelly John is a personal injury attorney and Phoenix Arizona he's agreed to answer the online question on that was posted on so John is getting into the question this question was posted from Samantha ons related to which you should hire an attorney for a car accident so her question was a Mister Kelly I like to know when you recommend hire an attorney after a car accident in what situations you need an attorney and in what situations you can avoid hiring an attorney and just work with the insurance company directly. Okay thank you Samantha for the question it's a good question and then Samantha's actually, ahead of the game a little bit and understanding that there are cases and she sparked her aspect it may make sense to represent yourself there are a lot of factors though that you want to look at before you make that decision and so I'm kind of laid out some of these factors that I think people who are considering representing themselves I should look at it if they apply to them. They may want to move forward in that way so one of the things that I first look at is what type of case. They have so if we're talking about an auto accident pedestrian accident something simple it is very easy to explain as I have a lot of parties involved that's a candidate for cases, you may be able to represent. Or the case is that difficult to represent yourself? Medical malpractice you do not want to proceed forward typically by yourself in a medical malpractice case The last time the experts are needed there's a lot of complicating our statutes they get involved in ours. Any kind of case that says a wrongful death. Very serious injuries and we'll talk about that you know things that probably a little bit of common sense but if it's a simple auto accident if you were an accident that's the type of case that you may be able to represent yourself then we got to go to the next factor which is how severe the injuries and so if we have a case that has what we call soft tissue injuries as opposed to broken bones head trauma spinal cord injuries severe burns. You know anything that required hospitalization and surgery that kind of cases you would not want to probably represent yourself well if you're talking you know which last little back pain something that doesn't require a lot of medical expenses. That's another type of cases you may be able to represent yourself and get a good result you always have to keep in mind this insurance companies want to minimize the amount out for your claim there's a lot of good adjusters out there and some of them are honest there's a lot of adjusters you want to minimize the amount that they're paying out so that they can save their awesome. Abbas is possible. You know these are big corporations they have online and so that's what they're looking out for. You're looking out for your own interests and sometimes cutting out the attorney's fees are that something that you want to consider but the final thing or one of the other ones I guess there are 2 other things what are the medical expenses and we kind of talk about that with injuries. If you have a hospital this. That this is a long typically is well over $1000 and sometimes up to $150000 yup. Obviously if you have a hospital visit thousands of dollars better leave alone maybe more having an attorney involved to see if you can reduce those bills there's health insurance that gets involved the hospital has a right to try to come back to you and say after settlement yeah we got it we received some compensation from your health insurance but we know you have an injury settlement and we want more money. That's something that you're gonna wanna look at a screen to look at this as a leading the issue in ours. It is very skinny there are different laws your attorney can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars later we had a big case or you know something more practical a couple $0 more in your pocket, after you know you had paid off returning in sports are you also can manage your rest assured that you're an attorney is looked at every possible provider and make sure that there are no outstanding means that after you settle your case one of the doctors or to you and say well. I still need to be Hey and here you thought that they were taken care of that's another issue. Finally. Your health is the state's same standard is a charter. When you're dealing with these insurance companies and their lawyers so if you're representing yourself you're representing yourself as your own lawyer. If you make a mistake the cost you your case completely or cost you lose a lot of the money you can't go back and say Hey you know I now want to turn to look at this review it there are very few instances that you're gonna be able to do that so it's kind of high stakes and so you want to make sure you're doing it correctly. The final thing I would tell Samantha is low lawyers. Almost every one of us will sit down and then released talk to you about your case. Give you the factors you need to consider there are cases that I talk to clients given all the information they need end up representing themselves some of them come back to me and then you know have problems representing themselves I mean I look at it and pick up where they were but it's a free consultation it's something that you should take advantage of it may save you a lot of money so with that I think that's what's the matter should be looking at actors if anyone watching this contact me for consultation on their case my firm is the Kelly law team in the
