IT CAN NEVER BE TOO SOON, BUT IT MAY BE TOO LATE... With Personal Injury claims, there are specific deadlines within which to initiate a claim or file a lawsuit or one may lose his/her legal rights. These deadlines may vary state by state.
Regardless of how much time has past since the accident or injury, you or a family member should consult an attorney immediately to discuss the facts of your accident or injury.
It is important that an investigation of the facts of your accident or injury be undertaken as quickly as possible in order to:
- Secure evidence which otherwise could be destroyed or lost.
- Take statements of witnesses who could disappear or whose memories could fade.
DELEGATE!
It may be important to select a responsible family member or a trusted friend to secure legal counsel on behalf of the burn survivor in order to allow the burn survivor to focus on recovery.
