Q: I was in a multi car accident. The person that caused it got away, hit and run. Do I need a lawyer for my injuries?
A: While you are certainly not required to have an attorney, an attorney who works representing car accident Plaintiff's knows the law and how to deal with insurance companies effectively.
Michael O. Smith and Tim Akpinar agree with this answer
A: Hiring an attorney is an individual decision, and that's up to you. What you can do is try to arrange a no obligation/free initial consult with a law firm. That way an attorney could outline your rights and options to help you decide. No one can judge a claim based on a few brief lines in a post, but it's possible it could be a complex claim, based on the fact that it involves multiple vehicles and UM coverage. But an experienced attorney should be able to help you sort things out and help you decide how you wish to proceed. Good luck
