What To Expect During Your Free Consultation?
Most personal injury lawsuits begin with a case evaluation and consultation. Often, it is the first time you will discuss your claim with a lawyer face-to-face. At an initial consultation, one of our elite lawyers will assess the merits of your potential case. The attorney will also determine if your specific needs match our legal services. Initial consultations are a beneficial process for everyone involved. It allows the lawyer to understand how the accident happened, the scope and severity of your injuries, the medical treatment involved, your future prognosis, and other damages. You must be adequately prepared for your complimentary consultation. Our attorneys request that potential clients speak openly and honestly so that we can get all the required information.
The Consultation Process
Free consultations can be conducted in various ways. Some clients prefer to have their initial consultations as soon as possible. Other clients like talking to a lawyer on the phone to acquire a better idea of the claim process. While meeting in person is always preferred, our caring team is happy to accommodate you in any manner of your choosing. During the consultation, our lawyers will likely have plenty of fundamental questions to ask you. Some specific questions we may ask include:
- How the accident happened;
- The time and date of the accident;
- Whether a police accident report or incident report was filed;
- All the injuries that you suffered;
- Whether any other parties were involved, and if they suffered injury;
- All the medical treatment rendered to date;
- Whether you made a statement with insurance adjusters;
- If you were offered a settlement;
- How has the accident impacted your life; and
- Necessary future treatments.
Documents To Bring
While the particulars of every free consultation vary significantly from victim to victim and case to case, we may request certain documents and records regarding your accident. Our seasoned team recommends bringing anything you feel would be necessary to your case. Documents, such as police reports and hospital records, can help us determine how the accident occurred and the injuries suffered. Upon reviewing such supporting evidence, our attorneys can more accurately estimate your case’s value and advise you accordingly. Do not worry if you do not have the documents because our lawyers can easily request them.
