The answer is YES. The insurance companies will take advantage of individuals without legal representation. They may make you an offer and ask you to sign documents in order to settle your case as quick as possible and for as little money as possible. You should talk to an attorney before signing anything or accepting any settlement from an insurance company. You should understand your rights and what your case is worth before signing anything. There are many aspects to a personal injury claim and navigating that on ones own is a full time job; Hire Barbara J, Bowers to represent you and she will handle every aspect of your claim, taking the stress away from you so that you can heal from your injuries.
NO, not without a lawyer. North Carolina uses a system called contributory negligence to determine fault after an accident has occurred. If the insurance company finds that you contributed in anyway to the accident you will not receive any compensation; that is why it is so important to speak to a lawyer first. Barbara J. Bowers will meet with you to do a Case Assessment for Free, and if you decide to hire her you will never have to speak to the insurance company without her present.

Yes! Do not wait to get the medical attention you need. Seeking medical treatment after an accident is very important, even if you do not think your injuries are serious. At the time of the accident you may not feel injured, but as time passes you may develop pain and begin to feel the injuries you sustained in the accident. It is very important to see a Doctor as soon as possible after the accident to document what happened to you and to get you the treatment you need to heal. If you don’t have health insurance you may be able to get your medical bills paid through your case.
There are statutes of limitations that apply to your personal injury, so the best thing you can do is meet with an attorney as soon as possible to learn how much time you have to file a claim.
