        "text": "You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident on private property, especially if your injuries are serious or require ongoing medical treatment.

Waiting too long might compromise your ability to build a strong case, as there are strict deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, for filing personal injury claims. A timely consultation helps protect your legal rights.",
