Q: I had a accident in North Carolina . A dump trunk came over into my lane & hit me threw me in front of the truck & push
Should I get a lawyer
A:
Very short answer: yes.
I can go through some reasons.
1. You will have medical bill abrogation and other issues.
2. You may have to work through hospital lien issues.
3. You will be dealing with the insurance carrier or the third party administrator of claims for the dump truck company.
4. If you are able to settle there will be a multiple page settlement agreement that will need a lawyers review.
5. If you are unable to settle, then a lawyer would be needed to try the case.
