Handling it yourself vs. an attorney vs. a quick settlement
| Handle it yourself | Work with an attorney | Accept the insurer's first offer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best when | Very minor, no dispute, no lasting injury | Serious injury, disputed fault, or high value | Rarely advisable before you know your claim's full value |
| Who evaluates value | You, without leverage | Someone negotiating on your behalf | The insurer, whose interest is paying less |
| PIP interaction | Easy to misunderstand PIP limits | Tracked and coordinated on your behalf | N/A once you sign a release |
| Typical cost | None, but you carry the risk | Often contingency-based — ask upfront | Free, but usually undervalues the claim |
A simplified overview — your situation may differ. A free case review can help you understand which path fits.
