Houston, TX personal injury lawyer Shane Kadlec shares his advice for families and victims affected by catastrophic injury. He emphasizes that his best advice is to retain a skilled attorney as soon as possible. Once time starts passing, gathering evidence, locating witnesses, and conducting a thorough investigation becomes much more difficult. Often, clients contact him weeks or even months after an injury, which complicates the process of collecting crucial evidence. For example, a convenience store may have surveillance video that is erased after just 30 days. The sooner an attorney is involved to investigate the facts of the case, the easier it is to secure the evidence needed for a strong outcome.
