The most pressing matters following an injury-causing accident is determining who is at fault and the claim’s value in terms of monetary compensation. When an attorney accepts a client’s case, action does not happen in a matter of hours. Your lawyer will need time to investigate and prepare to file a claim properly. This process takes time to build evidence and follow through on each necessary step. The sooner you take action following an accident injury, the more time you give your attorney to establish your case and be as prepared as possible when bringing the claim to an insurance company or the suit to a court.
