Should I Get A Lawyer For A Car Crash

Card image cap

location: California.

Hi I’m new here and honestly know nothing about the legal process for this kind of stuff so please if you don’t have anything helpful to say just don’t say it.

My husband was in a car accident last week where he was hit head on by a car who took a turn too fast while the ground was wet. My husband went off the road (this was kind of in the mountains) and crashed into a tree which THANK GOD was there because of the tree didn’t stop him he would’ve plummeted into a canal head first. I don’t know how but he only walked away with soft tissue damage, whiplash and abrasions on his arms and hands. He is traumatized and scared to drive understandably so. This happened while it was dark outside as well.

This car had about 6k left on it to be paid off but it ended up being totaled. It was supposed to be our family car since we have a sedan and this car was an SUV so it does suck as I am now pregnant with our first child. But the main thing is that he is OKAY!

The driver of the other vehicle did admit fault to the police

Should we get a lawyer just in case? We actually have the same insurance company as the other driver so I’m wondering how that’s going to work. Sorry if this is all just dumb but we have never been in this situation before and we are stressed going between doctor appointments, chiropractors and physical therapy.
