Do I need a lawyer for car accident injury?
|
I had a car accident involving 4 cars including mine. All other cars' airbags went off while mine didn't. And my car has the most damage!
Since the airbag didn't work and my seat belt didn't lock, I was almost thrown to the passenger seat...and ended up in emergency care.
My friends told me that I need to talk to a lawyer for the airbag and seat belt problem with my car. Should I find a lawyer for this matter?

1st off, like the other answer said, who is at fault for this accident?
If you are at fault, then your insurance company will be liable to the other 3 cars damages/injuries.
i am sure others will tell you that depending on the vehicle, make, year etc is reason for your airbag and seat belt problems. if there is a problem with your seatbelt/airbag, need to consult manufacturer to see if any recalls. a friend of mine who was a claim adjuster hit a tree and the seat did not lock and could not get answers.
lawyers rarely===rarely handle any airbag/seat belt issues; if they do, they will most likely charge you per hour to research.
if even you hire an attorney for your injuries, they will most likely tell you to research or pursue yourself.
also; if;;;;;;you are at fault for this 4 car accident, no attorney will handle, since they cant collect for your liability. if you went to the ER and no further treatment, no need for a lawyer.
let your insurance company handle. if you are not at fault and only had ER treatment, then the other company will offer an injury settlement. if you get a lawyer, they will settle with the lawyer, but might take at least 6 months to settle. and believe it or not, most likely you will receive less due to the 1/3 the lawyer takes.
ie; ins co offers $500; to you
ins co offers $600 to lawyer; which means you gent $400, lawyer gets $200; |
