It's population density is 533.5 people per square mile with some 5,800 households.

If you sustain a personal injury and are considering your legal options, it is extremely important that you act quickly and contact and attorney. Below are just a few of the reasons why you should contact an attorney as soon as possible:

• Important evidence is only fresh immediately after the accident and needs to be gathered and investigated by an attorney as soon as possible. You can be assured that the insurance company for the at-fault party will begin gathering and reviewing evidence immediately after an incident, so you should ensure you have an attorney doing the same.
• With the passage of time, key witnesses and individuals with important knowledge or information relating to the incident will forget the details, making it much more difficult for your attorney to piece together events and circumstances associated with your particular incident. Additionally, your own memory regarding the incident will fade as well, thereby making it even more difficult to prove your case. The Jasper personal injury attorneys at Hollis Wright Law Firm will immediately contact witnesses and gather evidence upon being hired.
• All states, including Alabama, have strict timelines as far as when a lawsuit must be filed. These deadlines are referred to as statutes of limitations. Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired will result in the personal injury case being dismissed immediately.

Depending on the type of injury you sustain and the viability of your claim, you will likely be entitled to compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, emotional distress, permanent scarring, disfigurement and more. However, in order to maximize your recovery, and primarily for your own safety, you should immediately seek medical attention following an accident. It is important not to make the mistake of thinking that the injury will resolve or go away on its own. Also, in order for your attorney to have the best chance of helping you recover, proper and complete medical documentation is essential. Without such documentation, your attorney will have a much more difficult time recovering damages on your behalf. It is also important, for both your health and your claim, to maintain contact with your physician regarding your condition.
