Collecting Evidence in a Car Accident Claim

Answer:

One of the most important reasons to contact a personal injury attorney immediately after you’ve been injured in a car wreck is that the attorney needs to begin preserving evidence and investigating the claim. The longer you wait before contacting an attorney, the less time he or she will have to preserve evidence and uncover the full story of what caused the wreck. That story is very important to the claim, and attorneys want to begin an investigation as soon as possible. Things like skid marks on the road don’t last very long, and witnesses tend to disappear if you don’t gather that information immediately.
