Should i contact a advocate after a hit and run stroke of luck?

I was in a hit and run calamity last night. I get the license plate number. The CHP located the person and the vehicle that matched the description of vehicle that hit me. My insurance is involved but should I also contact a lawyer. Would this hurt my covering. I've never gone through this before and I want to make the right descision. Any counsel would be greatly appreciated.

IF YOU WERE INJURED YES BUT IF JUST THE CAR WAS DAMAGED THEN NO , LET THE INSURANCE COMPANIES HANDLE IT FOR YOU, THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. Source(s): 923
I would do what is right and honest. I once was hit in my saloon by a trash truck from behind. It damaged the coup¨¦ but I felt fine. The trash company wanted me to sign a release proverb I wouldn't sue in the future for injury and they would foot for my repair.

I told them I wouldn't sign that as sometimes you can feel pain then on. They still repaired my car even though I didn't sign their paper and its be 10 years and I feel great so I wasn't just one of those losers that sue and pretend their hurt.

If however I be honestly hurt of course I would proceed. However some attorneys will milk your winnings so get a biddable attorney and tell them up front if nothing is solved vigorous within a few weeks you are taking the case somewhere else. Also if they dont return your call within the same morning you immediatly take the file somewhere else. Tell them this up front.
congrats for getting the plate and CHP involved;

also, since your insurance is involved, they will walk after the other guy for you; that is their job; when they repay, they will have a vested interest in getting their money wager on; they will also determine if the other guy has insurance; if he does, then they will any have you contact them for your damages,. or they will pay and afterwards subrogate the other company for the amount they pay plus your deductible; if the other guy has no insurance, afterwards they will go after him personally;

you dont inevitability a lawyer; there is zilch he can do that your insurance company will do for you; believe me they will; if they have to file a lawsuit, your company will recompense and handle;

insurance companies have lawyer, special investigators that handle fraud cases and also to find and locate people who are responsible for accident;

just let your insurance company switch with all of their resources;

obedient luck
If the police know who hit you, you should be filing the claim beneath their insurance, not your own because you aren't at fault. If insurance is handling the situation, you don't need a legal representative. Once you get lawyers involved, the claims process with the sole purpose gets slowed down (everything has to run through the lawyer) and you end up having to paw over part of your settlement to the lawyer! Why do that? That's crazy!! Let the insurance switch it. Source(s): I work in insurance in NC
A lawyer for what? What are they going to do? You already have a advocate...the one's that work for your insurance who in turn work for you. You don't have a grip, you have a claim with your insurance. Let them do their available job.
you should speak to a lawyer if cannot afford one then should a court aid place in your local area to provide free warning
Contact a legal representative, (ambulance chaser,) 1st consultation is most often free. Go after the "Great American Lottery" as many others since you have done.
