Why do I need to hire a lawyer?

Written by our personal injury lawyers in Charlottesville

We often speak with potential clients who ask these questions or say these things:

  • “Why do I need to hire a lawyer now?”
  • “Why can’t I wait to hear what the insurance company has to say?”
  • “If I give the insurance company all of my bills, won’t they give me a fair settlement without a lawyer?”
  • “The insurance company said they would take care of my medical bills.”

Our response to these clients is — It is NOT the insurance adjuster’s job to be fair with them.  It is the insurance adjuster’s job to protect his employer – the insurance company!   So, it only makes sense that the injured person have someone in their corner whose job it is to protect them.

For decades our personal injury lawyers in Charlottesville have been privileged to represent thousands of innocent victims who have been hurt by another in Louisa County, Fluvanna County, Albemarle County, and all of central Virginia.

Don’t delay, because “they’re” not
The earlier we can get involved in a case, the better job we can do our job.  Following is a story that happens often, and you should NOT let it happen to you.

A woman was handling her case on her own for over a year. She said the insurance company told her they would pay her medical bills (but of course they did not).

After her bills were not paid, she was turned over to collection agencies who started calling her and sending her collection notices. She ignored them, thinking the insurance company was taking care of everything.

They did not, so the bills went on her credit report as delinquent.  All along she had health insurance that could have paid her bills.  When told the insurance company lied and did not pay her bills, it was too late to change course and submit them to her health insurance company.  It took a LONG time for her to repair the damage that had been caused because she assumed the insurance company “would take care of everything.”
