Do you need an attorney after a car crash? Technically, no. But that might be the wrong question to ask.
The Insurance Research Council has studied this extensively and found that people represented by an attorney walk away with three to four times more in their pocket than those who go it alone. Not just enough to cover legal fees, but actually more money.
So the better question is not whether you need an attorney, it's should you have one.
