A qualified personal injury attorney can evaluate the facts of your unique situation to determine legal and insurance time deadlines. Waiting too long to act could result in you giving up the right to pursue compensation altogether, so best practice means contacting a highly-skilled lawyer to help determine your status as quickly as possible after the incident.
