Baltimore, MD personal injury lawyer Rick Jaklitsch gives his advice for someone injured in a motor vehicle accident. He believes that the best advice for anyone injured in a car crash is to hire a lawyer immediately. There is so much that a lawyer can do at the very beginning of a case that is lost if the injured person waits. For example, a lawyer can measure skid marks to establish speed, take statements from witnesses, and work with the police department to obtain crucial information.

Beyond the legal work, the firm also assists clients in practical ways—arranging rental cars, getting vehicles repaired, and handling other logistics—all free of charge. He emphasizes that taking these steps early can make a significant difference and, in some cases, even position the client to succeed in the first week of handling the case.
