Yes, you should get a lawyer for a car accident that wasn’t your fault because insurance companies are not on your side. Even when the facts seem clear, insurers often delay, dispute, or underpay claims, especially when the injured person doesn’t have legal representation.
If you were not at fault, it’s easy to assume that the other driver’s insurance will take care of everything. But the claims process can quickly become overwhelming, and mistakes made early on can cost you real money. A car accident lawyer protects your rights, manages communication with insurers, and helps you recover the full value of your claim.
Injury claims are about more than just vehicle repairs and hospital bills. Long-term medical care, missed work, and emotional trauma are often underestimated. Without the right legal help, these consequences may never be fully addressed.
Why Legal Help Still Matters in a Not-at-Fault Crash
Accident victims often expect the system to work in their favor when they didn’t cause the crash. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, even when liability is clear.
We’ve seen firsthand how insurance companies:
- Try to downplay the severity of injuries
- Shift partial blame onto the victim
- Offer fast, low settlements before medical care is complete
- Delay approval of treatments or wage replacement
- Push for recorded statements that can be used to reduce your claim
Without legal guidance from a personal injury lawyer, it’s easy to accept less than you deserve. That’s especially true when you’re juggling doctor visits, vehicle repairs, missed work, and physical recovery.
The financial pressure that follows an accident can lead people to settle quickly. But fast settlements often come at the cost of future care. An attorney helps you slow the process down just enough to ensure the outcome is fair and lasting.

How We Support You After a Not-at-Fault Accident
At Haque Law, we have a uniquely deep and personal understanding of car accidents and their impact on victims like you. As a former hospital C-suite executive, Managing Attorney Mahmood Haque spent over a decade doing everything in his power to help make the hospital system work better for patients.
He has firsthand knowledge of how devastating auto crash injuries are and the long and complicated road to recovery that they often entail.
Attorney Haque and the team at Haque Law use this knowledge to strengthen your legal case by clearly communicating all of your losses to insurance companies and fighting for justice and compensation on your behalf. When you work with us, we:
- Coordinate medical care and help with transportation to appointments
- Review your treatment plan to ensure long-term needs are factored into your case
- Negotiate directly with insurance providers on your behalf
- Help manage medical liens, Medicaid/Medicare coordination, and billing delays
- Guide you through every step of the claim process, from start to settlement
We also take time to explain each part of the legal process so that you never feel confused or left out. Whether it’s understanding your claim value or deciding when to settle, we walk with you through every decision.
Our goal is to lift the burden off your shoulders so you can focus on healing. You’ll never have to guess what comes next or handle paperwork on your own.
Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Claim
Even if the other driver caused the crash, your claim can still be compromised by simple errors. Some of the most common mistakes we see from people whose car accidents weren’t their fault include:
- Delaying medical care: Waiting to see a doctor can suggest that your injuries are minor.
- Giving a recorded statement to the other insurer: Your words may be used to dispute fault or minimize your damages.
- Assuming the insurance company is on your side: They are not required to act in your best interest.
- Accepting the first settlement offer: Early offers rarely account for future care or lost earnings.
- Trying to handle everything alone: The legal and medical systems are complex. Guidance makes a difference.
Some of these mistakes can’t be undone—but many can be avoided with early legal support. Reaching out quickly is one of the best ways to protect your case.
In Texas, shared fault can reduce your compensation. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, you can only recover damages if you are found to be less than 51% at fault.
Even if the accident wasn’t your fault, insurers may try to assign partial blame. This is one more reason why legal representation is so important.
