How can I prepare for my initial consultation with a personal injury lawyer?
Of course, the most important thing you should do after sustaining a serious injury in an accident is receive medical treatment at once. That being said, you should also do what you can to collect various forms of documentation to help bolster your claim and prepare for your initial consultation with your personal injury lawyer. Just some of the documentation you should bring to your initial consultation, if possible, is as follows:
- A copy of all medical documentation detailing the type of accident you were in, the injuries you sustained, the amount of time you missed from work, and the cost of medical treatment
- Any pictures or videos of your accident occurring
- Witness contact information
- A copy of the police report filed at the scene of the accident
- A list of questions you may have for your lawyer
- Any correspondence you may have had with the other party’s insurance company
- Your insurance info, including auto or health insurance
We understand that this may seem like a lot, and if you are unable to obtain all of the above, simply come with what you do have. However, being prepared and bringing this information to our firm can speed up the process and increase your chances of winning a personal injury claim in the future.
How long will I have to speak with a personal injury attorney after an accident?
No one should ever wait to speak with a personal injury attorney after an accident. Once you’ve received medical treatment and are out of the hospital, you should hire a competent personal injury attorney as soon as you can. There is a statute of limitations in place that regulates how long people have to bring personal injury claims. Don’t miss these deadlines–simply reach out to an attorney as soon as possible.
