After my car wreck , the other driver's insurance company contacted me and told me they would settle with me and that I do not need a lawyer. Is this true?

A: First, let me say that I am sorry you were involved in a car wreck and I hope you were not seriously injured. If you were not seriously injured, you very well may be able to resolve the case on your own. Please be aware that one tactic insurance adjusters use is to rush people into signing things before they understand all of their rights. Do not fall for this trick. You are entitled to a reasonable amount of time to have a qualified healthcare provider evaluate your injuries and to complete your medical treatment before settling your case. Insurance companies want to cheat you by getting you to sign a release before you know all the facts. If you were seriously injured or you do not yet know how serious your injuries are, you should contact a Board Certified Personal Injury Attorney immediately.
