Do I Need a lawyer even though its not a big money Washington injury case?

I am involved in a 3rd party claim. The other party’s insurance company has taken the blame. My son was injured when the side of his truck was hit and he has been seeing a chiropractor. The insurance won’t pay the chiropractor bill unless I settle. So, I said a year of chiropractor x3 for pain and suffering or to use future medical bills. They are ignoring me now? I need to pay the chiropractor because I owe 1000$ so far. I don’t want to get a lawyer when its not a big money case. What should I do?

A:The truth is that you probably don’t have much of a choice. The insurance company will offer you as little as they want, and your only recourse is to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. You can file a lawsuit on your own, but then the insurance company for the other guy will hire a lawyer for him and then you’ll be fighting a major uphill battle.

Studies have shown that those claimants that hire an attorney get more money than those who don’t, even after paying the legal fees. You should talk to a personal injury or auto accident lawyer as soon as possible.
