When you are injured in an accident, in which you are not at fault, the liable party may try to settle with you as quickly as possible in order to prevent you from seeking medical care or additional care. After a car accident, one can be left confused and anxious and not know how to navigate through the process without legal counsel. The insurance companies already have legal counsel, which can be working against you. It’s difficult for the insurance companies to take advantage of the innocent car accident victims with legal counsel present.
