Can I settle my own case without hiring a lawyer?

Yes you can, you can actually settle your own case. Which is not to say that its a good idea to handle your case without a lawyer. Most people are at a severe disadvantage when dealing with an insurance adjuster.

Most lawyers will get you more money for your case then you are able to get on your own. The reason for that is that the insurance company has a distinct advantage over you as an individual who has no experience handling injury cases. The adjuster handles hundreds of cases a year, day in and day at.. The insurance company handles thousands of cases a year, so they've got broad experience and they know every trick in the book to get you the least amount of money for your case.

Most people handling their own case handle one case in their lifetime. So it is important that you have good counsel, a good lawyer who handles case of this kind to be on your side to help to level the playing field.
