How quickly should I contact an attorney in a Florida auto accident case?

The answer to this question is actually quite easy. It’s as soon as possible. The main reason we ask that you hire an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible is strictly to preserve the evidence. Skid marks can get washed away, witnesses can leave the state, leave the country or forget what they saw or what they remember and vehicles can get repaired.

All of that is important evidence, important information to determine what happened in a particular accident and who is at fault. We always ask that you hire an attorney as soon as possible just to help preserve the evidence. You can always decide if you want to file a claim later.
