Below is an AI-generated transcript of the video answer.
One of the most common questions I get is actually very simple.
Do I really need a lawyer after this accident?
And the honest answer is not every case needs a lawyer,
but a lot of people wait too long to ask that question.
By the time they finally pick up the phone,
they've already given a recorded statement,
signed paperwork they did not fully understand,
missed important treatment or accepted a settlement before they knew the full
value of the case. I'm Emery Ledger.
I've been practicing law for over 28 years and I'm licensed in California,
Washington and Texas. What I tell people is this,
the right time to ask whether you need a lawyer is early,
not after the insurance company has already boxed you in.
A close second to that question is this one. What is my case worth?
And the truth is no honest lawyer can give a real answer to that in the first
five minutes without knowing the injuries, the treatment, the liability facts,
the insurance coverage and how the injury has actually affected your life.
So the most common questions are usually about whether someone needs a lawyer
and what the case is worth.
And both of those questions are better answered early than late.
