When Should I Call a Lawyer After an Injury

Meet Bobby Phillips

For more than four decades, Attorney Bobby Phillips has represented people in Savannah and the surrounding area with a primary focus on protecting and defending his clients. Among the many things he knows is when is the best time to contact a personal injury lawyer after an injury has occurred.

Transcript:

“You call a lawyer anytime you think you might have a case, because there are some times that a person would not know, particularly if the person, for example, was in the grocery store, dropped a bottle of milk, and then slipped in it. If that person caused the situation by spilling the milk, she wouldn’t have a case, but you don’t know if you don’t contact a lawyer. It may have been that the milk carton was defective and then leaked all of a sudden, and you didn’t know it, or you didn’t realize it. Every case has to be looked at by a professional. Attorneys have been trained to look for the issues which might arise that would give a good claim for liability. An important thing for an attorney to do, and I do it quite often, is to take time to be patient, to explain to a client why you do not have a claim. I just reviewed a personal injury death claim where a young lady was on a dirt bike, had a collision with another dirt bike, and she was killed. We looked at the records and made a determination that if there was negligence, it was negligence on both the decedent’s part as well as the other party’s. They were both teenagers. It was a very tragic situation. Some law firms just look at that and say we’re not interested. I normally try to get the client in, sit down with her and him and explain why there’s not a case, because sometimes people are just looking for closure and trying to understand why there’s nothing I can do for having lost my child. That’s a very hard situation to be in, but I think it’s important to answer those questions.”
