When should I hire an attorney?

If you have been injured to the extent that you needed to seek medical treatment, you or your representative should consider consulting with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Hiring an attorney soon after your injury will ensure that important evidence and documentation are properly collected and that you receive the maximum result possible for your case. In addition, you want to make sure your legal rights are protected before the statute of limitations expires – which in some cases, may be a short as 6 months after the accident.
