Navigating the aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming, especially when trying to determine whether to hire an attorney. Here are five key signs indicating it’s time to seek legal help, along with guidance from the experienced team at Sticklen & Sticklen.
1. Severe Injuries or Long-Term Effects
If the accident caused significant injuries requiring extended medical care or resulted in permanent disabilities, you need an attorney to ensure you receive full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and potential future needs. At Sticklen & Sticklen, we focus on maximizing recovery for victims facing life-altering circumstances.
2. Disputes Over Fault
When fault is unclear, or the other party is blaming you, having legal representation is critical. Insurance companies often leverage such disputes to deny or minimize claims. Our attorneys are skilled in gathering evidence and building strong cases to prove liability and protect your rights.
3. Low Settlement Offers
If the insurance company offers a settlement that doesn’t cover your expenses, don’t accept it. Sticklen & Sticklen has extensive experience negotiating with insurers and isn’t afraid to take cases to court when necessary to secure the compensation you deserve.
4. Complicated Accident Scenarios
Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial drivers, or government entities can be legally complex. Handling these cases requires specialized knowledge, which our team brings to every client we represent, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
5. Emotional Distress or Wrongful Death
Accidents that result in significant emotional trauma or the loss of a loved one demand the support of a compassionate and capable legal team. Sticklen & Sticklen has over 45 years of experience fighting for families and individuals during their most challenging times.
