The short answer
- A free, printable self-check on whether a lawyer may help. Tick what applies to you, on screen or on paper.
- Nothing is sent anywhere. Ticks are kept on this device only, and there's no email or sign-up.
- It isn't legal advice. It's a record for your own use.
Do I Need a Lawyer? Self-Check
Tick any that apply to your situation. The more that do, the more a free conversation is likely to be worth your time.

Most “do I need a lawyer” tools are really just lead forms. This one is not: it collects nothing and sends nothing. It is a genuine self-check to help you think it through. For the fuller discussion, see our honest guide.
A good lawyer will tell you when you don’t need one. This checklist is built on the same principle.
What to do with your answers
If you ticked nothing, you are likely fine to manage the claim yourself — our guides walk you through it. If you ticked one or more, it does not mean you must hire anyone; it means a free conversation is probably worth your time so you can decide from an informed place.
Either way, these help next: when to get a lawyer, what it costs, and what a lawyer actually does.
The Accident Advisory provides free, general information and is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. These tools are for your own personal use. Nothing you write is collected, stored, or sent anywhere — they are simply printable resources.
