When to Call a Montgomery Personal Injury Lawyer

There are many ways that you can sustain unexpected injuries in the Montgomery area, whether you are driving your car, walking, shopping, or engaging in recreational activities. If another person or company is negligent or careless, their conduct can lead to accidents and serious injuries that can disrupt your life. 


Most people are familiar with the idea of a personal injury claim. However, it is common for injury victims to wonder whether or not they should discuss their injuries and legal rights with a Montgomery personal injury attorney. If you believe someone else was to blame for your injuries, you should not wait to schedule your free case evaluation.


It’s Best to Call a Lawyer as Soon as You Can

Many legal questions are hard to answer. “When to call an injury attorney,” however, is easy. You should contact an attorney as soon as you realize you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s carelessness. There are several reasons to call a lawyer as soon as possible, including:


  • Once you have an attorney, your lawyer will deal with the insurance company on your behalf. This is to ensure that you do not say or do anything that could hurt your claim.
  • After an accident, you should be focusing on your well-being and recovery. Having a lawyer handle all of the legal aspects of your claim will allow you to do so.
  • In some cases, you may need to gather evidence to establish the fact that you are entitled to compensation. If you wait to contact an attorney, evidence important to your case can be lost, destroyed, or become otherwise unavailable when your lawyer starts to investigate your case.


Events that Can Lead to Personal Injury Claims

There are many incidents that can lead to important rights and compensation, and a personal injury claim can stem from the following and more:


  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Slip and falls
  • Product defects
  • Industrial accidents


If you were involved in any of the above, you want personal injury lawyer Matt Matthews to review your case. 


Can You Afford a Personal Injury Lawyer?

A main reason that injured individuals fail to call a lawyer is that they are worried about the cost. You might have a stack of medical bills, repair costs, and more - do you really want to add legal bills to that list? The good news is that consulting with and hiring a personal injury attorney costs you nothing. Contingency fee arrangements allow you to have legal representation without ever paying out of pocket - or paying anything at all if you do not win your case.
