Do I need a lawyer after an accident in Richmond?

For minor accidents that generally involved property damage, you likely won’t need an attorney to get fair treatment for car repairs or a vehicle replacement.

If an accident involves you or a loved one getting seriously hurt, you should talk with a Richmond attorney to go over your options. Insurance agents for the at-fault driver don’t have to inform you of all of your rights and, in fact, they may try to shift blame to you if they can.
