How Long Should I Wait Before Contacting A Lawyer?

Q: What should you avoid doing before consulting a personal injury attorney?

You should avoid giving any information to the insurance adjuster without first consulting a personal injury attorney.

It is imperative that you contact a lawyer as soon after an incident as you are able to do so. In almost all cases, evidence begins to be spoiled or be altered almost immediately following an incident, and it is imperative to preserve evidence to maintain your claim. Consequently, the sooner your lawyer can get started working for you the better. Remember the insurance adjuster you may be dealing with settled hundreds of cases in the past year alone. He or she is also highly trained at negotiations. It is important not to give any information to the insurance adjuster without first consulting a personal injury attorney. Also, letting your claim languish could affect its value as often witnesses and memories of the accident fade away. It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible about any potential claim because you should get legal advice on your time limits for filing a lawsuit or claim. The investigation of claims can be lengthy. Remember that you should not accept legal advice about your claim from anyone other than a qualified lawyer.

I was referred to Joel Levine by another attorney on LI. Joel was immediately responsive and took the time to understand my issue. Along the way he guided on what was needed in order to get the best result possible. At the end of the day we won a huge victory! With Joels confidence throughout the process I felt there was never a doubt, but in liability cases you can never be too sure. I definitely had the best representation possible and it absolutely paid off! I highly recommend Levine and Wiss!

The attorney Germi is very nice and had a very smooth experience while fighting my case.. but had a very hard time getting my check released due to a few people’s negligence in that area. Sandra at the front desk is very kind and helpful.

Sergio Saraiva

I was involved in a car accident that resulted in my car getting totaled. Without a dash cam from either party, my insurance company was ready to throw in the towel. A close friend referred me to Samuel Sheridan. It was no miracle that we won the case with Sam’s support. He is reliable and responsive. I would highly recommend contacting him if you get into any type of accident.
