Yes. There are two good reasons to hire a lawyer as soon as possible. First, evidence disappears including videos and 911 recordings being erased, witnesses forget or move away, and dangerous conditions are fixed before being photographed. Second, there are important deadlines where certain written documents must be filed or you may lose your right to sue or lose your right to certain benefits.
The specific value of a case cannot be determined until, at least, two key issues are adequately resolved: first, the investigation determines the quality and quantity of the evidence for proving what occurred; and, second, the doctors must have time to diagnose all present injuries and determine what, if any, problems will be permanent.
There are different fee arrangements for different types of cases. In personal injury and civil rights cases, the usual arrangement is a contingency fee. This means the lawyer only gets paid if he obtains a successful result for a client. In other cases, there is no usual arrangement. It depends on many factors including the type of case, the complexity, and the anticipated length of trial if the case goes to trial. We are reasonable and will work out a plan to fit your budget.

The complexity of the case does make a difference. The more complex the case, the more the communication will likely take place. A typical case has communication between one to four times per month. A complex case that is in active, contested litigation on a regular basis may have significantly more.
