Typical Cases Settled Without An Attorney
Virginia personal injury attorney Ben Glass wrote an interesting guide for victims of accident injury scenarios. It is imperative that as a victim, one knows the proper next steps to take and whether their case holds any value in the courts or not.
Oftentimes, victims have a hard time discerning whether hiring an attorney is a necessary action or resolving the situation by themselves is the best next step.
Glass provides a list of key characteristics of cases that can most likely be settled without an attorney.
- Minor property damage
- Minor Injury consisting of a sprain or strain
- No more than two visits to the emergency department
- No more than four months of chiropractic care or physical therapy
