1. Does traffic accident compensation need a lawyer?
You can hire yourself or not. It is suggested that when the parties encounter relevant cases, they should decide when to hire a lawyer according to the following five specific circumstances:
1. A simple case that can be seen at a glance, as long as you consult a professional lawyer about the litigation methods, skills and procedures of traffic accident cases, you don't need a lawyer.
2 cases that are considered irreversible may be invited or not. If the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, and it is difficult to find an alternative remedy, there is no need to hire a lawyer. There are also people who look hopeless on the surface, but they can only turn around after serious work. You can hire a lawyer. For example, in this case, the owner Li should hire a lawyer to intervene. This situation is a case with high litigation risk and great gains and losses. Once improperly controlled, there will be huge discrepancies, which need to be taken seriously by all parties and weighed against the pros and cons.
It seems simple from common sense, but in fact, it is better to find a lawyer for cases with complicated legal relations. In this case, we need to strictly grasp the legal procedures and litigation skills, and don't lose the winning lawsuit in order to save money, and it's too late to regret it.
4. For cases with incomplete evidence, big loopholes and vague legal relationship, lawyers should be invited. There is a lot of room for manoeuvre in this kind of case, and the result is unpredictable. It will be most effective if there is a professional lawyer.
It is most important to consult a lawyer as soon as possible after a traffic accident. Don't wait until you are sued or lose the lawsuit before you want to hire a lawyer. Especially when the seriously injured parties in the accident arrange forensic identification, they need to consult a lawyer or entrust a lawyer to represent them. Recently, there have been frequent traffic accidents in our city, and most of them are serious traffic accidents or vicious accidents.
Second, the difference between hiring a lawyer and not hiring a lawyer for car accident compensation
1. Ask a lawyer to reduce the litigation risk.
Traffic accident claims, especially litigation, involves a lot of legal professional knowledge, which is a highly technical and professional work and requires rich work experience and professional knowledge. However, for most of the legal provisions related to traffic accidents, some victims are not clear, or even know what compensation they can get. Therefore, if you hire a lawyer, you can completely control and prevent litigation risks.
2. Ask a lawyer to make a comprehensive claim.
Professional lawyers in traffic accidents can make comprehensive compensation for the losses suffered by the victims after synthesizing the case, and guide the parties or lawyers to collect evidence completely and support their requests as much as possible.
3. Require lawyers to enjoy equal rights with each other.
Traffic accidents need to deal with insurance companies most of the time, because many compensation will be paid by insurance companies first. When the parties can't reach an agreement on compensation and have to resort to the court, the defendant's insurance company must be a professional lawyer, and the injurer will often be represented by a lawyer. Therefore, if the victim is only the victim himself and there is no equivalent professional lawyer to protect his rights, it will lead to disadvantages and eventually lead to no compensation.
4. Hiring a lawyer can reduce the workload of victims.
Traffic accident claims need to deal with insurance companies, perpetrators, traffic police departments and courts, especially when the litigation process is long and the workload is heavy. Hiring a lawyer can free themselves from heavy claims and give victims more time to recuperate, adjust or devote themselves to family life and work. For example, if you want to sue, you need to work hard to obtain owner information, policy information and insurance company business information. After hiring a lawyer, these can be handled by lawyers, which is faster and more efficient;
5. Lawyers are more likely to claim for success and get higher compensation.
As the saying goes, professional people are more likely to succeed in doing professional things! Moreover, professional traffic lawyers are familiar with traffic cases and know all the doorways in the litigation process like the back of their hands.
According to the above, we can see the importance of lawyers to the case. However, if the case is relatively small, don't hire a lawyer. After all, the lawyer's fee is relatively high, but you still need to find a lawyer for more complicated cases. Lawyer fees are charged according to qualifications and experience, and the standards of each lawyer are different.
