Do I need a lawyer after my accident in Oxnard?
For collisions involving a serious injury, you should talk to a legal expert experienced in car accident injury cases. Accidents that result in property damage-only or minor injuries usually don’t require an attorney to resolve fairly. However, when you are seriously hurt having an attorney watching over your interactions with insurance agents can be very beneficial.
People who suffer serious injuries due to the actions of a careless driver can require long hospital stays, surgeries, and months of physical therapy. Insurance companies usually won’t bring up the potential need for future care so that they don’t have to help pay for it. Don’t get stuck with the expenses you have now and in the months to come. Talk to an Oxnard Car Accident Lawyer to hear about your options.
