How to Prepare for Your Initial Consultation

Auto Accident

Now that you’ve gotten past the initial aftermath of the auto accident and into the process of picking up the pieces, you need to prepare for your initial consultation with your Hialeah personal injury lawyer. This consultation should be free of charge, and you should not have to wait for an unreasonable amount of time for your appointment to be scheduled. These are basic ideas to remember as you search for an attorney to help you.

As you get ready for your meeting with your attorney, you’ll need to do what you can to make sure that this initial consultation accomplishes as much as possible, as neither you nor your attorney have any time to waste if you have a valid claim. Witnesses may not remember things as well today as they will several months from now and physical evidence needs to be preserved.

Therefore, gather anything relating to the following before you head to the law firm:

1. A copy of your auto insurance policy

2. Any documentation from your medical examination following your accident

3. The contact and insurance information from the other driver

4. The police report from the accident

5. The contact information from any potential witnesses to the accident

6. Any documentation that pertains to missed time at work or lost income

Anything you can gather and/or organize before your meeting will save you time. However, if you cannot locate any or many of these items, do not wait to contact the law firm. Most firms will be able to locate these items for you once you agree to retain them to help with your case.

Along those lines, if you want the help of a Hialeah personal injury lawyer who will not make you wait for that meeting, who will not charge for the initial consultation and who will provide you with sound advice, contact Bernstein & Maryanoff today to schedule that free initial consultation. The firm has been helping victims of auto accidents for more than 20 years.
