Do I need a lawyer after a minor car accident?
You may not need a lawyer for every small property-damage-only crash. But if you were hurt, symptoms are getting worse, fault is disputed, an insurance company is calling, or the crash involved work, rideshare, a truck, a pedestrian, or a child, it is smart to get a case review before signing anything.
What if I was a passenger in an Uber or Lyft?
Passenger claims can involve the rideshare driver, another driver, the rideshare company policy, or more than one insurer. Save the trip receipt, driver name, screenshots, crash photos, and medical records. A lawyer can review which coverage may apply.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, household policies, rideshare coverage, employer coverage, or other responsible parties may still matter. Do not assume there is no recovery just because one driver had no insurance.
What if I was driving for work when the crash happened?
A work-driving crash may involve both injury law and workers compensation rules. Delivery drivers, messengers, home health aides, construction workers, landscapers, and other workers should document the assignment, route, dispatch record, employer notice, and medical treatment.
