Do I Need A Lawyer After A Car Accident?

Attorney Coby L. Wooten fights for the best outcome in your case

When you’ve been hurt in a car accident, it can take time to sort things out. You may be left with medical expenses and be unable to work right away. As you deal with the insurance companies, you are left with many questions. One of the first questions you may ask yourself is, “Do I need a lawyer?”

You may think your accident is relatively minor and that getting a car accident lawyer isn’t really necessary. Technically, you don’t need a lawyer. There is no requirement to have one. Insurance companies would actually prefer that you don’t have a car accident lawyer. Coby L. Wooten, Attorney at Law, P.C. knows that makes it easier for the insurance company to pay you less.

Insurance companies deal with claims every day and they have become very good at finding ways to limit compensation after a car accident. It’s important to remember that they are not on your side. They have lawyers fighting for their best interests. You need an experienced attorney who will fight for you.

Experienced car accident lawyer fighting for the compensation you deserve

Attorney Coby L. Wooten has been fighting for the injured in Fort Worth for decades. He has litigated cases throughout Texas and the United States and delivered sizable verdicts and settlements for his clients. He has the experience, legal knowledge and resources to fight the insurance companies on your behalf.

Here are some of the things Coby L. Wooten can do for you:

How much will all this cost you? Nothing unless we win. Attorney Coby L. Wooten works on a contingency fee basis. That means there is no cost to you unless he recovers compensation.

That’s why it’s worth it to get an attorney for a car accident. Many people are concerned about how much it might cost to hire a lawyer, but the insurance industry’s own data shows that even taking the contingency fee into account, people who hire an attorney recover more on average than those who don’t.

How soon should you hire an attorney after a Texas car accident?

When should you call a lawyer? The answer is as soon as possible following your accident. Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of the wreck to file a lawsuit, but you need to take action much sooner than that. It’s important to start investigating before evidence gets lost or destroyed and before witnesses forget important details. The insurance company will likely start investigating right away, and you should do the same.

In addition, if the insurance company has offered you a settlement, you need to talk to an attorney before you choose to accept or decline it. Once you take the insurance company’s money, it’s too late to hire a lawyer – your case is settled, and there is nothing we can do to go back for more money. Always review a settlement offer with your attorney before you sign.
