Questions Your Attorney Might Ask During the Initial Consultation

The importance of investigating a personal injury case right away cannot be overstated. Essential evidence may eventually become unavailable, which could greatly weaken your case and possibly increase the likelihood of a dispute. Our phone-line is open 24/7 to take your call. You can prepare for the initial consultation by gathering any evidence you have and considering your responses to the following questions:

• How did the accident occur? For your claim to be successful, you must be able to prove that the opposing party is liable for your damages. In most cases, this requires proving that the opposing party was negligent. Your lawyer will want to know when, where, and how the accident occurred to determine how to approach the investigation and the types of evidence to gather.
• Did police attend the scene? The insurance company will review any official documentation of the accident when determining whether to approve your claim. Your Pine Hills personal injury lawyer will want to see this documentation to understand the facts of your case, gauge the likelihood of a dispute, and prepare accordingly.
• Did you take photos? Pictures and video footage of the accident scene, injuries, and property damage may help your attorney prove liability and damages.
• Did you get the contact details of eyewitnesses? Your lawyer might want to reach out to eyewitnesses to find out if they saw how your accident occurred and whether they would be willing to provide testimony.
• Have you visited a doctor yet? If you haven’t already done so, you should visit a doctor right away so your injuries are documented and to prevent the insurance company from arguing that you have failed to mitigate your damages.
• What types of medical care have you received? If your claim is successful, you may be able to recover compensation for any necessary and reasonable healthcare costs.
• Have you taken time off work to recover? Lost income can also be included in your claim.
• Are you active on social media? Your posts and photos may be used by the insurance adjuster to dispute your claim. It’s important that you use social media cautiously while your case is pending or, preferably, disable your accounts entirely.
• What types of insurance are available? Your attorney will want to know if you have any insurance policies that might apply to your case and if you’re aware of the opposing party’s insurance coverage.
• Did you contribute to the accident in any way? It’s not uncommon for more than one person, including the injured party, to contribute to a single accident. If you are found to have been partially at fault, your final recovery may be reduced by your own percentage of liability. A Pine Hills personal injury lawyer from Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can take the necessary steps to minimize the percentage of liability assigned to you.
• Have you spoken to the insurance company? If you’ve made any statements to the insurance company, it’s likely that they were recorded. These statements may be used to dispute your claim. Your lawyer will want to know about any correspondence you’ve had with the insurer and will advise you to direct any future calls and emails to the law firm.
