Some claims can be handled without an attorney. Most can't. Here's how to tell the difference.
Hire an attorney when: injuries required medical treatment beyond first aid, the at-fault party disputes liability, the insurance company is offering less than your medical bills, or you've lost time from work.
You probably don't need an attorney when: there are no injuries, property damage is the only issue, or you're satisfied with the carrier's initial response on a small claim.
Statistics consistently show that represented claimants recover meaningfully more — often 3x or more — than unrepresented claimants, even after attorney fees.
Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations and work on contingency, so there's no upfront cost to evaluate your case.
AARC requires attorney representation for funding. If you don't have an attorney yet, ask us about referrals in your state.
