When meeting with your attorney it is important to be as prepared as possible. Some examples of documents to bring to your consultation include: a police report of the accident, any notes or photos that you took at the accident scene, your medical records, including medical bills and any x-rays or MRI’s that you had taken, names and contact information of the witnesses to the accident, any paperwork sent to you by your insurance company, your written account of the time after the accident, including how you feel mentally, physically and emotionally, and any other information that you may consider relevant.
Anything that you do not remember to bring to your initial consultation may be given to your attorney later. However, try to keep all paperwork as organized as possible, as witnesses may forget their accounts and things may get misplaced. Keeping an organized folder of information may assist in the efficiency of your lawsuit.
