“You mentioned earlier that they should consult with a lawyer. But should they hire a lawyer? And I think you answered that a bit; it all depends, of course, on the case, and whether or not they can handle it themselves. Is that the criteria?”

Andrew Dósa – Personal Injury Lawyer – Alameda County, CA

“Well, I hesitate to suggest that the average person would actually know how to handle your claim. Realistically though, if someone only had, like I said, maybe one or two doctor’s appointments, no ER, no ambulance, no X-rays even, but they’re just sore and had a headache for a couple of of days, if your medical bills are two or three hundred dollars, it is not financially attractive for a lawyer.
