Even making an illegal turn without a signal or rear-ending a car are reasons to find the driver negligent. Not all of these are readily apparent. The driver may deny that they were doing any one of these. Without witnesses, it could be difficult to prove what the agency driver did, and they will rarely admit it. This is where an accident lawyer helps. There may have been witnesses or other evidence that could be used to prove what happened.
On your own, it is difficult to get to the bottom of everything. Not only do you lack the experience in investigating accidents, but you may never have dealt with an insurance company before. It is complicated because they have a financial interest in making it that way. They are hoping that you will settle your claim for less than it is worth, either because you do not know what it is worth, or they wear you down. Hiring an attorney lessens the chance that this happens.
This keeps them from taking advantage of you when you may be at your most vulnerable and grateful to accept whatever they offer. You are not bound to accept a settlement offer, and you have the ability to try to negotiate for more money.
