After you have been in an accident or been injured, you will want to set up an appointment with an attorney. If you have not been to a consultation with an attorney, you might not know what will be needed. There are some documents that you will need to bring with you, information you should know, and how much time it should take.
You should bring any documentation that is related to your injury. This means that if you have been in a car accident, you should bring the police or incident report, as well as a copy of your auto insurance. You also should bring photos of the damage and injuries sustained. If you have been in touch with your insurance company already, bring that information with you. If you have already started treatment, then you should bring along any medical records. You should also bring any records involving injuries that you had before the collision, which have been impacted by the accident. Also, any sorts of information you have on your vehicle’s repairs, estimates, or receipts should be brought along as well.
One important thing to bring with you for the team to start your case is a social security number. Especially for everyone in your vehicle.
The attorney will ask you questions about the accident, previous injuries, previous accidents and how you’ve been impacted. It’s important for you to be honest and thorough about previous injuries, as they could impact your case. If your attorney is already aware of potential issues before the case begins, they can help prevent hold ups.
You want to bring all the information with you, so that your legal team can start work on your case. If they have to wait for you to send information, then some important things can be delayed.
This is also your time to ask any questions you have about the case. Come into the office with your questions.
