Why You Should NOT Wait to Get an Attorney
Matthew R. Fogg, Esquire

            After an accident, an attorney may be the last thing on your mind.  It should be one of the first.  Unlike you, insurance companies handle accident claims all of the time.  Insurance companies have one goal….PROFIT.  Profit does not include paying you the full value of your claim.  It’s important to have someone on your side to guide you through the process early on and to assure that the insurance companies are doing what they are supposed to do.
            Another important reason to see an attorney right away is to preserve potentially important evidence.  If you or a loved one are in a serious automobile accident, photographs of the accident scene may need to be taken quickly to show skid marks and roadway conditions as close in time to the accident as possible.   In certain circumstances, your attorney may obtain the services of an accident reconstruction engineer to investigate the scene and obtain certain key measurements before important physical evidence disappears due to heavy traffic flow, weather, or simply time.
            Based on the severity of injuries, your attorney may want to have a photographer or videographer record you or your loved one in the hospital or in some phase of your recovery process.  It is a very real statement that pictures speak louder than words in many circumstances.
            After any kind of accident, your focus needs to be on recovering as quickly and completely as possible.  Let the attorney’s at Doroshow, Pasquale, Krawitz & Bhaya handle the rest, but don’t wait.
