Why Do I Need a Lawyer for My Auto Accident Injury?
Do I Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident?
After a car accident, one of the first questions many people ask is: Do I need a lawyer? The short answer is yes, in most cases hiring an attorney can make a major difference in the outcome of your claim.
The answer is YES. Here’s why:
-
Insurance companies are not on your side. From the moment the accident happens, the insurance company begins building a defense. They have teams of trained adjusters and lawyers whose job is to pay you as little as possible.
-
Leveling the playing field matters. By hiring an experienced car accident lawyer, you immediately shift the balance of power. Your attorney takes over negotiations, protects your legal rights, and ensures you are not pressured into accepting a low settlement.
-
Focus on recovery, not paperwork. A lawyer handles the complex claims process, deadlines, and legal strategies so you can focus on healing from your injuries.
At Rutter Mills, we have spent more than 65 years standing up to powerful insurance companies. We understand their tactics, we know the strategies they use, and we fight relentlessly to recover the full compensation our clients deserve.
The moment you hire us, the process changes. We step in, demand accountability, and pursue every dollar available under the law—while you focus on your health.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. Contact the Car Accident Attorneys at Rutter Mills today for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Who Really Is on Your Side?
Did you know the insurance company is not obligated to explore all the coverage available to you after an accident? Uninsured or underinsured motorist and resident relative policies may be exactly what you need to make sure you don’t have to pay for someone else’s mistakes. But insurance companies will be quick to tell you they can not offer you any more money. If you’ve never dealt with insurance law, you may not know how to navigate these cases.
That’s why hiring a lawyer gets people on average 450% more than people who don’t hire a lawyer. Want to know more? Watch this video where Brother Rutter answers you questions about hiring a lawyer after an accident.
