Do I Need an Injury Lawyer for my Accident?

You might not need the resources of a big named lawyer if your case is small. Find a solo or small firm to handle your court case. The size of a personal injury case can vary but if you got into an accident, more times than not, the insurance companies can handle everything. Remember that injury lawyers in New York will take about 25% to 30% or more of the settlement and then there are additional legal and lawyer fees.

However, you should consider a free consultation if that option is available for you. The injury lawyer can see things that you may have missed such as malfunctioning equipment, problems in the manufacturing or even city and state liability for your pain and suffering. At the very least, if the other party is responsible, you would want all the current medical bills paid.
