Preparing for a Personal Injury Consultation

If you’ve been injured in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you’ll probably decide that you should look into receiving compensation for your injuries. Regardless of the type of injury or severity, you’ll want to schedule a personal injury consultation. To get the most from your initial personal injury consultation, you should go into the meeting prepared to give the attorney a clear idea of your case and how they can help.

Following are a few key steps you should take in preparation for your personal injury consultation:

• Start by finding the right personal injury attorney. Research and identify a personal injury attorney who is skilled, experienced, and has a history of successfully handling your type of case.
• Bring all of the documents regarding your case. These documents include the police report, insurance information, any witness statements, and the information you gathered from the other party. This information is essential to determining fault and whether you can seek compensation for your injuries.
• Bring all your medical information, including medical bills, health insurance information, and any records of your injuries. Additionally, bring any information regarding future procedures, long-term physical rehabilitation, and any documentation showing missed work time.
• Bring information about the other party. This includes their insurance information, contact information, legal representation, photos of the accident scene, and any additional information you have.
• If others witnessed the accident, you should try to collect their contact information. While this is not required at the first personal injury consultation, the more information you have the more likely the attorney can determine the strength of your case.
