        "text": "It is advisable to contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible after a collision, ideally within a few days. Prompt legal advice helps preserve evidence, avoid common mistakes when speaking with insurance adjusters, and ensure all necessary documentation is filed correctly. Delaying contact can complicate your claim and potentially reduce your chances of recovering full compensation.",
