Do I need an attorney for my Texas car accident case?

A:

The honest answer is “it depends”.  If you were involved in a minor car accident that resulted in minor injuries or little to no property damage, then you really don’t need a lawyer.  You’d be better off handling the case yourself, because the compensation you’ll likely receive will relatively small.

However, if you were involved in a more serious accident – one involving significant personal injury or property damage – then hiring a lawyer is likely the right thing to do.  Serious auto accident injury cases are often pretty complex, and you will want an attorney who has experience with similar cases.

Any time you look for a personal injury attorney – for a car crash case or any other injury case – make sure you ask them seven very important questions:

1. How long have you been practicing law?
2. Are you Board Certified in Personal Injury Law?
3. Will you actually handle my case?
4. Can I see a list of your case results?
5. Have you handled cases similar to my case?
6. Do you have professional liability insurance?
7. Have you ever been disciplined by the State Bar?
