Contrary to what you see in most lawyer advertising, there generally is no rush to go out and hire an attorney the day after you were injured. Yes, there are statutes of limitation (limits on time to sue) and sometimes those limits are relatively short (like if you are going to sue a governmental entity) but that doesn't mean you need to HIRE a lawyer today.

As you can see from looking around the Internet, there are lots of lawyers out there. You need to do your research and you may have questions that you would like to get answered now but that doesn't mean you need to HIRE an attorney now.

Most injury attorneys will offer free consultations. Use them.

Also, I've written a book "The Truth About Lawyer Advertising." Its available at Amazon.com. Just go to Amazon and search for the title.

The book is a good guide for staring you on the path to finding the right lawyer for your case.
