If you haven’t needed a motor vehicle accident lawyer yet, at some point it will probably occur. Statistically speaking, one out of every four people will be in an accident in their lifetime. Meaning, the chances of you or someone you know getting in to an accident is great. If you have been in an accident recently, how do you know if you need a motor vehicle accident lawyer? If you have been in an accident and are suffering from any post-wreck symptoms, such as soreness or stiffness in your back or neck, it would benefit you to contact a car accident attorney. Attorneys are there to look out for you. When it comes to your well-being, it’s best not to take any chances. Insurance company employees are trained to handle accidents in the best possible way for their company. Something you should ask yourself, before deciding if you need a lawyer is, “what is at stake?” Is it your finances, mental well-being or your physical health? If your accident or injury has the potential to affect your life down the road, it’s probably a good idea to consult with a lawyer. Most lawyers offer a free consultation; Frenkel & Frenkel offers a free consultation and work on a contingency basis. That means that clients do not pay attorney fees until they receive compensation on their claim, whether that is through a settlement or a verdict at trial. If you think you might need a lawyer, it’s probably worth your while to go ahead and call for your free consultation. Even if you don’t need a lawyer it’s worth the peace of mind knowing for certain that you don’t.
