The answer depends on the type of claim involved.

Michigan law imposes strict deadlines for personal injury lawsuits, insurance claims, and No-Fault benefits. Some deadlines can be much shorter than people expect, and waiting too long may limit or even eliminate your ability to recover compensation.

Perhaps just as important, evidence tends to disappear quickly. Witness memories fade, surveillance footage may be deleted, and accident scenes can change.

For that reason, it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Even if you're unsure whether you have a case, getting answers early can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
