Searching for and hiring any good lawyer might take some time, so the sooner you start the better. You just should begin meeting with lawyers within the first week or two after your injury. If you aren’t able to go because of your injury, have a family member or friend help you start looking and interviewing lawyers.

The other reason you want to get started is to avoid exceeding the statutes of limitation for suing. In general, a statute of limitations confines the amount of time a victim has to file a lawsuit. In Michigan, the statute is 3 years. If you don’t file suit properly and timely, you may be unable to ever file your claim.  Remember, the statue of limitations clock starts ticking from the day of accident. An experienced attorney can determine how any particular statute, including limitations, may affect you and your potential case.
