When you hire your car accident attorney, they will gather many pieces of information from you. They will need some of this information when contacting your insurance company to report the accident. They need to be prepared to provide the information you collected, such as: Contact information (name, address, phone, email) of all involved parties Auto insurance information of all motorists involved in the accident, including their name, insurance company, and the policy number The responding law enforcement agency, such as the sheriff, highway patrol, or city police Accident date, time, and location Specific details regarding the damage to your car or property and your injuries Ensure the information you give your car accident lawyer is clear, concise, and accurate so that they give the correct information to your insurance company. Any discrepancies or missing details in the information you give your attorney can be detrimental to your personal injury case. Be sure you give only the facts and nothing more.
