When is it worth it to get a lawyer after a car accident?

Hello, this is my first post here. I have been reading everyone’s posts and learning a lot. I have noticed that in many car accident discussions, people mention when to involve a lawyer. Can someone clarify when it is recommended to get a lawyer and what factors this depends on? Is it related to the extent of injury, who is involved like someone without insurance or if kids are involved, or other things?

I was in a car accident with my minor son a few months ago. We were T-boned. Since it was my first time dealing with this, I hired a lawyer to represent both of us.

I believe that everyone should have legal representation. A few months later, I visited a patient who was having trouble showing up. She believed the accident was small because there was not much damage to her car from the hit. Consult a lawyer; they can offer you the greatest advise on how to avoid problems down the road.
