I was in a car accident; do I need to file a lawsuit?
At the Mike Hostilo Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys know how life-altering a car crash can be for our clients. You might be suffering from terrible injuries, having difficulty paying for treatment, and worrying about how to support your family if you cannot return to work. The stress of an impending court date might be alleviated by hiring our personal injury legal firm.
In every stage, your attorney will be there to give you sound legal advice and guide your decision-making. Most auto accident lawsuits can be settled out of court for a respectable amount of money, while trials are sometimes necessary.
Your lawyer may advise you to go to court after a personal injury for the following reasons:
- Even after conversations, the insurance company will not offer a reasonable settlement.
- Unfortunately, the driver at fault lacks insurance.
- Again, you have been ordered to appear in court.
