Should I consult a lawyer if I was involved in a car accident that was found to be the other drivers fault even if I didn't receive any "serious" injury?
Question Details: I was in an accident where a car made a turn on a flashing yellow light in front of me and I hit her since my light was green. There were no serious injuried to myself or my passenger, although we were taken by ambulance to the hospital. The other driver has been cited and determined to be at fault. Should I still consult an attorney to ensure I get whatever I may be entited to...or will her insurance company be fair in making sure I am made whole again? Just trying to find out if it's in my best interest to get an attorney?
Any time you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, especially if your injuries necessitated you being transported to the hospital via ambulance, you should immediately consult an attorney. Most attorneys will not charge you a fee for your consultation. At your consultation, you can have all of your questions answered. As far as an insurance company being fair in making sure that you are "made whole", insurance adjusters generally strive to pay out the least amount of money possible. You need to consult an attorney right away.
