5 reasons why you should not delay
​ contacting a lawyer after a serious accident

1) It can only help preserve your rights
 
While most people might think the right time to hire a lawyer is after you’ve exhausted all other efforts with the insurance company, that is not the case when you or a loved on is seriously injured by someone else.  The sooner you act, the more we can help protect your rights and claim for proper compensation.
 
Why?  Because whether you realize it or not you are in an adversarial relationship with the insurance company once the claim process is initiated.  They have expertise dealing with these matters, whereas you do not.  Rather than attempting to navigate the complexities of tort and insurance law yourself, immediately get a professional on your side advocating your interests.
 
2) It removes the burden off of you and family members
 
The last thing on your mind after a loved one is seriously injured is filing out reports, paperwork, and claim forms.  Yet there are so many documents that need to be filed, and each have strict time limits.  Put your attention where it should be - on your loved one and their recovery.
 
3) Delay can result in lost evidence and witnesses
 
In an age of dash cams and other forms of eye witness evidence, it’s important to gather all supporting evidence, statements and documents immediately following the accident.  Let a professional evaluate, preserve, and present all this important information for you so that you don’t misplace it.  Even if you were partially to blame, this by no means invalidates your claim against the other party.
 
4) It can’t hurt, the call is free, the consultation is free
 
You really have nothing to lose.  Get quick answers to all your questions. Do not sign anything until you have had a free consultation with a lawyer.
 
5) You can lose your right to make a claim entirely.
 
Signing documents you are not familiar with or accepting money too soon may effect your ability to make claims in the future. Remember that insurance companies are not looking out for your best interests.  Insurance companies are interested in maximizing profit.  One way they achieve that is to minimize how much they pay out on claims.
 
We have seen and heard from many people who have learned the above lessons the hard way.  Delaying can end up costing you more than money.  It can also cost you access to treatment, assessments and may result in prolonged recovery time.
