Should I represent myself
Written by our personal injury lawyers in Manassas
Due to the internet, a fair amount of people choose to represent themselves in court. But as the old saying goes “he who represents himself has a fool for a client.”
There’s good reason for that saying. Regardless of the tips and shallow knowledge you can get from the internet, it can NEVER replace an experienced lawyer who knows the law and the courts inside and out.
For more than 30 years, our personal injury lawyers in Manassas have helped injury victims in Prince William County, Fairfax, Arlington, Gainesville, Haymarket, Woodbridge, Lake Ridge, Dumfries, Bristow, Warrenton, Centreville, Stafford, Chantilly, Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, Herndon, Reston, Alexandria, and Annandale.
For starters, a person who represents herself faces negotiations with an insurance carrier. That in itself requires years of training and experience to ensure you get the correct amount that is rightfully yours, not the amount the insurance company cleverly wants you to settle for.
You will also have to resolve the medical bills that result from a car accident or other serious injury. Then comes the part where you contact experts in various fields to help you prove liability and truly demonstrate the severity of the injuries you suffered.
And this is just the beginning of handling your own case!!
Our personal injury lawyers in Manassas have handled thousands of personal injury cases since 1987 and have recovered tens of millions for injured clients.
We have seen it all and we have successfully battled the insurance companies who almost always lowball the amount of money needed to make you whole again.
Many studies have shown that a person represented by legal counsel will get three times or more money than if they handled their own case.
