A: It depends on what the dispute is over. If the dispute with the insurance company pertains to coverage and whether they should provide you with a defense, you should contact an insurance lawyer.

A: Depending on the facts:

1. Personal injury Attorney

2. Uninsured Motorist, Underinsured Motorist Attorney

3. Bad Faith Attorney.

Most personal injury attorneys can do 1 and 2.

A: a car accident lawyer, referred to as a Personal Injury Attorney.

call one local, though.

if there is an injury, and you were not at fault, most of us would accept the case on a contingency fee. That means the lawyer will only take a percentage of what he/she gets.

absent a good injury, a lawyer would probably want to handle it on an hourly.
