No, you are not required to have a lawyer, but having one can help you understand your rights and ensure deadlines are met. An attorney can review police reports, gather medical records, and guide you through settlement offers. They can also assess whether to pursue a claim in court if a fair settlement isn’t reached.
Fault in pedestrian crashes is often determined by reviewing traffic signals, vehicle movement, witness statements, and surveillance or dashcam footage. Insurance adjusters and investigators look for evidence of negligence such as failing to yield, speeding, or distracted driving. An attorney helps preserve this evidence and present it clearly.
