Question

What should I bring when I meet my lawyer?

Answer

The more information you are able to give your Personal Injury attorney the better. Even if you do not have everything (such as medical bills), providing as much as possible will assist the Personal Injury lawyer in determining the validity of your claim in a courtroom and what additional information is needed. Anything you currently have that is relevant to your case, including police reports, photographs, newspaper articles regarding the incident, eyewitness information, details about the conditions surrounding the accident or injury, and any medical reports should be presented at your first meeting. If the other party’s insurance has contacted you, their contact information and any information they provided will assist your Personal Injury lawyer. Keep notes on everything—even small items may be important.
