Why do you want to sue? A lawyer can handle your claim for you but you need to understand -- he/she/it cannot get you ONE DIME more than you have coming, if any. Add to that your 'lawyer' will walk away with 33% of any amount you recieve (if ANY). Besides, if the insurance company is handling the claim properly you have no grounds to sue anyone. Again, another colossal waste of money.

Why would you want an attorney involved? So you can give him a percentage of the money you *might* have coming, assuming you aren't at fault? That is why you have insurance. Turn it it, let them handle it for you.

LOOK FOR A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER..AND HE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE..

Easiest way is to hire a lawyer. Let them take care of it for you. Ask friends or relatives for a recommendation or go to the internet and search one, car accident lawyer, personal injury lawyer, etc.. Make sure you move on it, time is critical. Go to the doctor and keep going to document your injuries and to be sure you get maximum value. You have to minimize your damages. Personal injury lawyers usually don't charge anything up front.

Start with the yellow pages. Or, the internet offers a wealth of information on where to find a attorney in your town. Type into one of the search engines, attorney-car accident. You can also contact the chamber of commerce in your area. Most states offer legal aide services depending on your income. you can also contact the bar assn of your state. If youpresently reside in a small town, you should go into a larger town or city because you will be able to get efficient service.

I would talk to your insurance agent, like State Farm or AllState. They can work on your behalf to get your medical bills paid and loss of work revenue. If you don't have insurance look for a personal injury lawyer or talk to people you know if they know one. Don't just call the guy on the TV. Id your friends or family don't know anyone, look on the State Bar Association web site for one in your area.

First, you WILL need a lawyer. Some lawyers may seek you out, and offer to take the case on a contingency basis for 1/3 to 1/2 of the settlement. THESE GUYS ARE UNETHICAL. DON'T SIGN ANYTHING. (1/3 to 1/2 is totally unreasonable unless you need to go to court, and sometimes even then.) If there was a police report, (get a copy), and the other driver was insured, his insurance company will probably seek you out and offer to settle. Again, DON'T SIGN ANYTHING, but do get their offer in writing, and ask a lawyer to review it and advise you. (They charge by the hour, so have the accident report, any bills you have, and any other information you might need lined up.) You can probably negotiate from there with your lawyers advice. Best of luck.
