Do you need to have a lawyer to file an injury claim with the other parties insurance company.?

aplus80, It's unfortunate to hear about your situation. I was injured once when a truck backed over my right foot at work. My company attempted to settle with me fast because they knew it wasn't my fault. I called a nearby accident lawyer in my city who provided me useful advice and I was able to get a decent settlement to cover my hosptial bills that weren't covered by my work insurance. I'd find a personal injury in your city. http://www.accidentlawyerlocator.com My personal injury lawyer was willing to answer any and all questions I had because they hope to make some money at the same time. Try visiting a accident lawyer to see if they can help.

Heop everything works out.

You dont really 'need' a lawyer for anything, a citizen can file any type of claim in court that he wishes.

Be advised the insurance company retains many expereinced attorneys, you as a layman, will be at a distinct disadvantage.

No you don't need to, but it is a smart idea because the insurance company is probably going to jerk you around until the statute of limitations passes and you can no longer sue them.

If you have car insurance, they will typically go after the other insurance company for you to make a claim against the persons policy. :-)
