As lawyers meet with you to gather information about your case, you should be prepared to provide details and supporting documents to back up your story. While it can be difficult to relive an injury or accident, it’s important your attorney has all the details to ensure they’re accurately representing you and fighting for the maximum compensation.
Details of the accident:
Be prepared to explain the circumstances of the accident, including the date, time, location, and any other relevant details.
Injuries and medical treatment:
Your attorney needs to know the extent of your injuries, including any medical treatment you’ve received and any ongoing medical care. Remember, injuries can include loss of work, mental suffering, and so forth.
Insurance information:
They’ll want to know about your insurance coverage and any communications you’ve had with insurance companies.
Any and all evidence:
Every piece of evidence is crucial when working with an attorney. Make sure you give your attorney any photos of the accident scene, witness statements, and police reports.
Remember that the more information and detail you provide, the better they can argue your case and get you the compensation you deserve. While you want to stay focused on the facts, work with your lawyer to understand the full scope of the accident and any backstory if applicable.
