When individuals who have been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of another party, they may be unsure of their legal options. There is often a fine line when determining whether your injuries are serious enough and there was blatant negligence that warrants a lawsuit. In order to determine whether you are eligible to bring a personal injury lawsuit, you will have to meet with an experienced personal injury attorney who can assess your situation and guide you accordingly.
There are a few ways that you can prepare for your initial consultation with an injury attorney. You should make sure to gather as much documentation as possible to give to the attorney. Some of this documentation should include any photographs you have from the scene of the accident, photographs of the injuries you suffered during the accident, and medical records regarding your injuries such as the official diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and rehabilitation. In addition, it is important that you collect all records of expenses related to the accident and your injuries such as paid and unpaid medical bills, repairs to damaged property, and lost wages. Finally, it is important that you bring the contact information of your doctors, insurance company, and witnesses to the accident.
