Do I Need A Lawyer for My Virginia Car Accident?

A: The simple answer is “no,” but you need to be careful not to sign away your legal rights with the other insurance company for a small settlement.  If you agree to a settlement and sign the release papers, you cannot change your mind or come back for another settlement at a later date.  It is important to have an attorney review all of the paperwork before you sign them, and to assist you in obtaining the best settlement.
