Don't Delay: Seek Legal AssistanceAfter an injury-causing event, those in Guntersville, or anywhere in Alabama, should seek legal advice as soon as possible from the Guntersville personal injury attorneys at Hollis Wright Law Firm. Before hiring a lawyer, however, it is critical that you address your medical needs first by getting medical attention and treatment. It is important to get evaluated by a medical professional for your own safety, as well as to ensure all injuries are recorded and documented. Without this documentation, your attorney will have a much more difficult time proving the full extent of your injuries and getting the compensation you deserve. Additionally, hiring an attorney as soon as possible ensures the investigation into the incident begins immediately. Further, it will enable your attorney to speak with witnesses early in the process while the events are fresh in their minds. Also, Alabama has a statute of limitations on all personal injury cases. If you don't act quickly and get your lawsuit filed before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, your claim will be barred and you will not receive any compensation for your injuries and losses.
For these reasons, you should receive medical attention first, and then contact the competent Guntersville personal injury attorneys at Hollis Wright Law Firm for a FREE consultation.
