Do You Really Need an Attorney for Your Accident Case? You do not need an attorney for a minor injury case. Don’t let a lawyer who needs the business talk you into employing them. If you have been injured in a car accident in Nashville or anywhere in Tennessee, you need to preserve the integrity of your case and call an attorney to see if they can help you. An honest attorney will talk over the particulars of your case and tell you, at no cost to you, if they can help you or if you’d be better of taking care of it yourself.
At Keith Williams Law Group, we do not accept cases where there is little property damage, or where the physical injuries are minor or are not considered permanent. WHY NOT? Because the attorneys’ fee and litigation costs usually leave the client with little or nothing after the medical bills are paid. In a small case, we tell the potential client that he or she will probably do as good if not better on their own as opposed to hiring an attorney.
The bigger the case, the more likely you will benefit by using an experienced personal injury attorney.
While you usually do not need a lawyer for a minor injury case, the opposite is usually true for more serious injury cases. In fact, the bigger the case, the more likely you will benefit by using an experienced personal injury attorney.
In larger cases, insurance companies typically are especially aggressive in attempting to get unrepresented parties to settle for the lowest amount they can talk them into.
If you have a permanent injury, significant property damage, medical bills and/or lost wages, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced Personal Injury attorney. Why? Because the litigation costs (medical records, doctor depositions, court reporter fees, expert testimony fees, etc.) are virtually the same in a small case as they are in a larger case.
People who hire an attorney receive on average 3 TIMES more money for their case as someone who does not retain an attorney. In addition to having experience and success for over 20 years in injury law, we are trial attorneys. That means when the at-fault party’s insurance company sees that we’re on the case, they KNOW we aren’t going to be taken in by any lowball settlements and, if they don’t negotiate fairly with you, we will have them in court before they can cry “Uncle!”
