What should I bring to my first consultation with a personal injury lawyer?
To make your initial consultation as productive as possible, bring any of the following that you have available:
- The police report or incident report
- Photos and videos of the accident scene, your injuries, and property damage
- Medical records and bills related to your injuries
- Insurance information (yours and the at-fault party’s)
- Any correspondence from insurance companies
- Pay stubs or documentation of lost wages
- Names and contact information of witnesses
- A written timeline of events (your notes about what happened)
- Any documents you’ve signed related to the accident
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we can help you gather the necessary documentation. The most important thing is to schedule your consultation sooner rather than later to protect your rights.
