        "text": "It is generally advisable to contact a spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible after the injury, once your immediate medical needs are addressed. Early involvement allows the attorney to preserve crucial evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and navigate complex legal procedures effectively. Waiting too long can jeopardize your claim, as evidence may disappear and statutes of limitations could expire. A timely consultation ensures your legal rights are protected from the outset.",
