Can I wait to contact a personal injury lawyer?
One of the most important reasons for contacting a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible following an accident is that insurance adjusters immediately send out investigators to determine fault. Insurance companies want to act quickly because they want to find evidence that can deny the victim coverage or substantially reduce a claim. Therefore, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer to speak on your behalf. Statistics show that injury accident victims tend to get better settlements when they are working with an attorney.
