There may be several situations where the services of a lawyer may be recommended. If anyone has suffered serious injuries in an accident, it is a good idea to hire a lawyer to keep lines of communication open between you and the insurance company and help you reach a fair agreement. Depending on the personal damage, an accident claim can be as high as several million dollars. You can be sure that any insurance will ask the advice of a lawyer before paying.
If the other driver was at fault he may need a lawyer too. To prove that the other is guilty both lawyers will need to analyze the facts, know which laws were disobeyed and what caused the accident. Additionally it is relevant to know what harm the accident caused to you, your passengers and your car. It may sound simple, but requires time, research and knowledge of the law. A lawyer is also needed to write any correspondence or at least review it. Remember that any word that you say can be used against you.
Another situation that may require an attorney is when you could not claim the benefits of the insurance in the first month of the accident. That is a symptom of problems: either the insurer is preparing to litigate against you, or you did not communicate effectively with the insurer. In both cases the lawyer is helpful or even essential.
Insurance companies are aware of many fake accident claims and even fake accidents. They, and their lawyers, will do anything to try to stop people squeezing money from them. Try to report all the facts as clear as possible to avoid any doubt of the insurance company towards you. You won't have any serious problem with any serious insurance company. Just make sure you follow the normal procedure to report an accident.
You will always need a lawyer if someone is litigating against you and using a lawyer. Laws of any kind can be tricky and what sound intuitively correct is often deceiving.
