Do I need a lawyer for my Portland personal injury case?

You've been in an accident. You're out of work and the medical bills are piling up, but the insurance company refuses to pay. You're thinking about filing a lawsuit, but you're not sure it will help. Will the legal process be just one more headache you need to deal with? Can you trust a lawyer to have your best interests at heart?

Although many personal injury lawyers in Maine might not want to admit it, the fact is that some cases can be settled by the injured person without the need to pay an attorney's fee. If you call Lowry & Associates, we will give you the straight scoop, and if going without a lawyer is the best course for you, we will give you some tips on the best way to present your case to the insurance adjuster.

In his book, The BIG Secrets About Maine Injury Claims: What No One Is Telling You About The Process, Don Lowry suggests that victims of accidents, where blame is firmly established, might be able to make a successful claim without a lawyer. However, if the case becomes more complex-such as where there is an extended period of treatment for the injuries or where there is a disagreement about who is at fault-having a lawyer on your side is highly recommended.

We know it can be frightening to place so much trust in a stranger. That's why we let you know up front what you can expect when you bring your case to us.

• Many people who call Lowry & Associates are having trouble with their insurance carriers after a Maine car accident.

• You will get to speak to a professional, who will listen as you walk us through your accident.
