Why do I need an attorney? |
| |
In many cases, an insurance company will offer a settlement before you have time to consult with an attorney. By taking the first settlement offer and acting too fast, you may be giving up certain rights you didn't even know you have. Only an experienced attorney can assure that you are not giving up valuable rights to additional compensation by settling too fast.
