In the event that you have a viable personal injury claim, you will likely be entitled to financial compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, permanent disability and other damages. To determine whether or not your claim is viable, you must speak to a Huntsville personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. However, before speaking with an attorney, you should always seek immediate medical treatment for any injuries you sustained in the incident. Not only is getting immediate medical treatment for your injuries prudent for your health and safety, it will also help your potential claim against the at-fault party. Your injury attorney will have a much harder time helping you if you don't get medical treatment close to when the incident occurred. Further, a medical professional will document your injuries and complaints in the medical records and will provide independent information to support your claim.

For many reasons, it is truly important that you move quickly when considering a personal injury lawyer in Huntsville to handle your claim.

1. Key witnesses will only remember the details of the incident for a certain time period. The more time that passes, the more details that will be forgotten by all involved parties and witnesses. Witness testimony can make or break a personal injury case.
2. As discussed, receiving medical attention as soon as possible is crucial for your health, as well as to document injuries for your case. Maintaining contact with your physician and attending scheduled follow-up visits is also very important.
3. Preserving physical evidence, like a car or an involved product, is crucial. If the claim involves a defective or poorly maintained vehicle or product, then it is essential that the vehicle or product be preserved or kept as evidence. Without an attorney, preservation of evidence oftentimes does not take place.
4. Like all states, Alabama has strict statute of limitations deadlines, which provide a defined time frame after the initial incident during which the claim can be filed. After the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, you will be legally barred from pursuing a claim.
