Columbia, SC personal injury attorney Mark D. Chappell talks about hiring a lawyer for your car accident case. A lawyer isn’t always necessary after a car accident. If there are no major injuries and the insurance company is handling the claim fairly, legal representation might not be required. However, insurance companies often do not treat claimants fairly, and at some point—whether it’s managing a rental car, addressing property damage, or resolving an injury claim—legal assistance may become essential. These issues can become complex, especially when dealing with insurance stacking, liability, underinsured and uninsured coverage, med pay, and PIP. This law firm has extensive knowledge in these areas, more so than most lawyers in the state. Unfortunately, in many cases, seeking a lawyer may ultimately be necessary.
