To fully prepare for your first meeting, it’s important to bring the following documents.
- Copy of the police report
- Copy of your insurance declarations page
- Photographs of the accident – include any photos or videos you took of the accident, including any injuries, property damage, or anything you believe could be useful
- Repair estimate
- Medical records – if you were injured and needed medical attention, bring any relevant medical copies you have related to the accident
- Wage loss information – if you have missed work due to your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of your income. Bring any documentation from your employer showing missed days.
- A list of questions to ask – you will most likely have a bunch of questions to ask, so be sure to bring a list of questions that you have prepared since the day you got into the accident. Some questions could include:
- What is your experience with personal injury cases?
- How long have you been practicing?
- Have you worked with cases similar to mine? What was the outcome?
- Will it take long to resolve my case?
