A productive first consultation starts with the right documents. Here is a simple checklist.
Documents to Gather
Bring the police or incident report, photos of the scene and injuries, medical records and bills, insurance information for all parties, and any correspondence from insurers. A timeline of what happened is also helpful.
Information to Share
Be ready to describe how the accident happened, your injuries and treatment, time missed from work, and how the injury has affected your life. Honesty about the details — including any way you might share fault — helps your attorney advise you accurately.
What to Expect
The consultation is usually free. The attorney will assess your claim, explain your options, and discuss next steps and fees.
