Do I Need An Attorney?Q: I was rear-ended at a stoplight and have seen my doctor for back injuries. My doctor told me that I do not need an attorney, since the other driver's insurance company seems to be acting reasonably. Do I really need an attorney? A: Insurance companies often try to appear to be reasonable with unrepresented parties, when their goal is to lull the person into taking an offer which is less than the full value of the claim. Because an adjuster appears to be reasonable does not mean that the adjuster is being reasonable, or fair. The insurance adjuster's job is to save his company money by resolving the claim for as little as possible. As an injured person, you want to receive fair value for your claim, not the minimum that the insurance company wants to pay. it is the attorney's job to try to get you full and fair compensation for your injuries. In my experience, people usually do better with an attorney than by themselves.
