It is in the best interest of most accident victims to consult with a California car accident attorney. After an accident, most victims are under the impression that their insurance company will fight for you. This is where many victims have been misled. Insurance companies are for-profit organizations. To maximize their profits they want to pay out as little money as possible. Insurance companies have well trained adjusters who are motivated to withhold payment.

An insurance adjuster can use any information received from you against you during your settlement. The average accident victim must consult with a car accident attorney who will advocate their side of the story. Among other things, my book The Seven Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Personal Injury Claim in California provides many such examples of insurance adjusters.

Studies by insurance companies show that people who hire California personal injury lawyers receive much more in settlement than those who do not. Therefore, it is in your best interest to hire an attorney to ensure just compensation.
