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.
