People who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligent or other wrongful conduct, often ask whether or not they really need personal injury lawyers to represent them.

In a situation where a person has suffered only minor temporary injuries and incurred medical bills of a few hundred dollars, there is probably no need to involve a personal injury lawyer. However, even in those situations, it is a good idea to wait a sufficient length of time to make sure that the injuries are in fact minor and temporary before settling and forever releasing all rights to the claim.

You may not be on an even playing field.

However, where a more serious and/or permanent injury has been sustained, an individual who does not have the training and experience in personal injury law, is not on an even playing field with the claims representative. Nonetheless, insurance adjusters many times will go to great lengths to keep an injured car accident victim from hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent them.

The insurance company is motivated to do only one thing,
settle your claim as cheaply as possible.

Insurance adjusters have been known to "advise" persons (claimants) that they do not need a personal injury lawyer, and that they, the insurance claims person, will take care of the claimant and see to it that they receive every penny of compensation that they are legally entitled to. The insurance company is motivated to do only one thing, which is to settle your claim as cheaply as possible, preferably with you coming away believing that the adverse insurance company took good care of you.

Special expertise is required to develop the evidence necessary
to prove the full extent of a victim's injuries.

Although insurance companies in some cases do admit fault, they always very hotly contest the nature and extent of the injuries suffered by the innocent victim. An insurance company will find every way imaginable to avoid responsibility for the full extent of a victim's injuries. Special expertise is required to develop the evidence necessary to prove the full extent of a victim's injuries. 

Experience in this field is required.

For example, just identifying all available insurance coverages in a motor vehicle case is sometimes not a simple matter. In the case of an uninsured or underinsured driver, a number of different policies from other drivers involved in the accident and their relatives may provide coverage. Experience in this field is required to accurately identify potential policies that may provide coverage as well as determining how the various policies properly interrelate.
