If you or a loved one was involved in an automobile accident, you should strongly consider hiring a car accident lawyer if:

- The other driver was an uninsured or underinsured motorist,
- There is a dispute between you and the other driver as to who was at fault,
- You are feeling pressured by the insurance claims adjuster to agree to a quick settlement,
- You don’t believe that you or your loved one is being fully compensated for current and/or future medical costs,
- You fear the statute of limitation may prevent you from bringing your lawsuit,
- Injuries from the accident have caused you or your loved one to miss more than a few days of work,
- You or your loved one experienced a head or brain injury,
- You or your loved one is having difficulty performing simple daily functions, such as walking, dressing, and/or eating,
- You or your loved one have a prior injury or medical condition that may have been aggravated by this new injury,
- You are contacted by the other party’s lawyer to discuss a settlement.
