Decided To Forego An Attorney For Your Accident-Related Dental Injuries? 3 Questions To Ask Yourself First
by Richard Ramirez
If you've been injured in a car accident, you need to focus on your recovery. If you haven't spoken to a personal injury attorney, now's the time to do that. You might not realize this, but a personal injury attorney can help you to recover from your accident. This is especially true if you've suffered dental injuries during your accident. Most people don't think about dental injuries after an accident. That's because they're more focused on the physical aspect of their injuries. But, dental injuries can have a devastating impact on your life, which is why you need to focus on those as well. Unfortunately, insurance companies aren't always fair when considering dental injuries. If you've decided to proceed without an attorney, answer the three questions provided below. These questions will help you to see the importance of hiring a personal injury attorney for your dental injuries.
How Severe are the Injuries?
If your car accident resulted in dental injuries, the insurance company will consider the severity of those injuries. If the car accident resulted in catastrophic injuries to your mouth, the insurance company will take the claim more seriously. For instance, did you suffer injuries that required reconstructive surgery to your mouth? If it appears that the insurance company is trying to downplay the severity of your dental injuries, you need an attorney on your side.
Are the Injuries Permanent?
If your dentist expects you to fully recover from your dental injuries, you may be able to negotiate with the insurance company on your own. But, if your dentist has determined that your dental injuries are permanent and that they'll require continued care and treatment, it's time to hire an attorney. An attorney can help you to receive compensation that will provide continued treatment for your dental injuries.
Do the Injuries Affect Your Life?
If your dental injuries haven't resulted in any adverse effects on your life, it might be safe for you to proceed without a personal injury attorney. If, however, your dental injuries are going to adversely affect your life, you're going to need attorney representation. Dental injuries can affect virtually every aspect of your life. Some ways that dental injuries can affect the rest of your life include chronic pain, disfiguration, or difficulty chewing. An attorney can help you to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
If you suffered severe dental injuries from a car accident, get the help you need. Don't let the insurance company do you out of the compensation you're entitled to. Talk to a personal injury attorney near you as soon as possible.
If you have additional questions, reach out to a company like Marko Law Firm.

About Me
Hello, I'm Phillip Kerr and I just love the legal profession and courtroom drama. Have you ever watched judge shows on TV? I know that these shows are not an accurate representation of the courtroom, but there is something you may have noticed. Some individuals come into the courtroom well-dressed, articulate, respectful and with the knowledge and documents necessary to support a case, while others come unprepared, slovenly dressed and appear as if they do not have a care in the world. How you present yourself and the knowledge that you have of the law will have an impact on how you are treated, even if you have legal representation. This blog is designed to assist those who are going to trial in doing just that.
