So you got into a car accident in Boston and you were wondering when should you hire a personal injury lawyer? The real answer is immediately. And the reason for that is there is really two things you need to prove in order to win a personal injury claim as a result of a car accident. The first is you need to prove negligence. So duty, breach, causation and damages. We need to show that the other person who caused the accident is at fault. The second thing you’ll need to prove is that your damages are related to the accident itself. Damages being injuries. Now, the reason we want to hire a lawyer immediately is for the first reason to prove negligence. We need to do the investigation. So we need to send somebody out to the scene. We need to get pictures. We need to check on video. We might need to do an accident reconstruction. We want to find the defendant and check their car and take pictures of their car before their car gets repaired. So really, time and value go together. So if they start fixing their car, if we start losing witnesses, if we start losing evidence, it makes it harder to prove your case. Now, some cases it might not matter. It’s clear the police came. It was a rear end accident. But in a lot of cases, it’s really important that we start the investigation immediately. So my advice to you is call us immediately and we can get started on proving your case. So we make sure you win.
