If you are in a car accident with an uninsured motorist, hiring a car accident lawyer can be a great option to cover the costs of damage. However, there’s a lot of grey area after car accidents and it can be hard to know whether or not you actually need a lawyer. This video explains when you need to hire an attorney for your case.

Sometimes you can simply work with the insurance company directly to get your costs covered. It’s fine to represent yourself, but there are many factors to look at before you make a decision.

One thing to look at is what type of case you have. Auto and pedestrian accidents are fairly straightforward and you can likely represent yourself. Medical malpractice after you are injured in a car accident, however, or wrongful death will call for a professional lawyer.

The next factor is the severity of injuries. If there are only soft tissue injuries, you are fine representing yourself. Broken bones, burns, and other injuries that may require more serious and expensive treatment are all instances that it helps to have a car accident attorney.

Facing eviction is a stressful event in anyone’s life. It’s important to know whether or not your eviction is legal or illegal before you make plans to leave. An eviction attorney can help you sort this out.

An illegal eviction is an eviction that does not fall under local eviction law. Don’t mistake a landlord for being out of the bounds of these laws. Both tenants and landlords are subject to these laws. You can find your housing laws with your regional housing agency or an eviction attorney.

If you are illegally evicted, you are able to sue for compensation that will cover the expenses related to the illegal eviction. Whether or not the eviction is illegal or not largely depends on the rental agreement signed by the landlord and tenant.

The landlord must explicitly state all eviction terms in the rental contract and give enough notice of eviction for the renter to address it properly. They cannot evict people if the tenant did not violate the terms of the agreement or if they did not give proper notification.

The landlord can also not evict the tenant if they are withholding rent due to a health and safety hazard that the landlord refuses to fix. For more information, click on the link above.

Once you are arrested, you must wait in jail until a bail hearing where the judge will set the bail amount. After this hearing there are two options, hire a bail bond agent to post your bail, or return to jail until your trial.

When you hire a bail bond agent, have as much information as possible about the person in jail. This includes their full name, the jail they are in, their booking number, and the charges.

Along with a fee paid to the bail agent, you may need to sign over collateral. collateral is a property like a house, car, or jewelry that helps guarantee the defendant will show up for court.

Once the fee is paid and any collateral is signed over, the bail agent will post the bail on your behalf and you will be released until your trial.
