Putting Off Calling a Car Accident Lawyer? You're Not Alone.

After a car accident, most people have a long list of things to deal with.

There are doctor appointments to schedule, vehicles to repair, insurance adjusters to speak with, and work or family responsibilities that do not simply disappear because you were injured.

For many people, calling a lawyer ends up on the "to do" list. Days turn into weeks, and before long they find themselves wishing they had called sooner.

In fact, one of the most common things we hear from new clients is: "I wish I would have called you sooner."

The Process Is Easier Than You Think

‍

Some people put off calling an attorney because they assume it will be time-consuming or complicated.

In reality, getting started is often much simpler than expected.

In many cases, we can have an initial conversation over the phone or by email. During that conversation, we can learn about the accident, answer basic questions, and help determine whether we may be able to assist.

No formal appointment is necessary just to start the conversation.

A Free, No-Pressure Consultation

If it appears we can help, the next step is a free consultation scheduled at a time that works for you.

During that meeting, we will:

• Answer your questions
• Discuss your concerns
• Explain the claims process
• Talk about potential next steps

Just as importantly, we'll help you decide whether hiring an attorney makes sense for your situation.

There is no pressure and no obligation.

Why Calling Sooner Can Help

The sooner an attorney becomes involved, the sooner important steps can be taken to protect your claim.

Evidence can disappear, witnesses can become harder to locate, and important records often take time to obtain. Early involvement also allows us to help clients avoid common mistakes when dealing with insurance companies.

That does not mean you have waited too long if some time has already passed. But in general, it is better to ask questions sooner rather than later.
