do I need a Lawyer?

There are several reasons to hire an attorney.
Some people automatically contact an attorney regardless of the type of problem. Others prefer to negotiate on their own.

If you are handling the claim yourself you may want to turn to an attorney if:

• You don’t have the time, patience, or energy to deal with an insurance company.
• The insurance company refuses to respond to your calls.
• The situation has grown beyond your level of expertise.
• Nothing is happening.
• You sense that the person handling your claim for the insurance company either doesn’t have your best interests in mind or doesn’t really know what is going on.
• You think you are getting “taken for a ride.”
• Your policy is confusing and you don’t know what is covered.
• You are injured and the insurance company will not pay.
