Do I need a lawyer after Ive been in a car crash?
Lucas Foust:
Hi. This is Lucas Foust from Foust Law Office, and I'm here to answer a quick question that may not be so quick. And the question that I receive from people is, "Do I need a lawyer after I've been in a car crash?" Well, the answer to that question might be no. There are a lot of cases where you just simply can handle the case yourself and settle a claim without the involvement of an attorney. This is especially true if the injuries that you've sustained only require one, two, maybe even $3,000 in medical bills to be paid as a result of the crash. For this reason, I encourage you to educate yourself as much as possible and learn as much as you possibly can before you begin to discuss your case with that insurance adjuster.
