Cab husband and wife represent themselves in a personal injury case involving the wife in auto accident

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by attorney Mr. Chris Hoffman   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
You can represent yourself, but if there are damages of any significance, I would not advise it.  You are unlikely to get full and fair compensation and there are many things that you will probably not understand about insurance subrogation, what damages you are actually entitled to collect, how to document and prove those damages and how to deal with damages that may happen in the future. I strongly recomend consulting with a qualified personal injury attorney. Chris Hoffman Hoffman, Sheffield, Sauseda & Hoffman, PLLC 1008 S. Madison Amarillo, TX 79101 800-753-5359 www.hsshlaw.com...
