Preparing for Your Personal Injury Consultation

Posted on Oct 13, 2016 2:39pm PDT

If you’ve been injured in an accident and have decided to take legal action against the person or entity responsible for your injuries, the first step in securing proper representation is having an initial consultation with a personal injury attorney. The time you have during your consultation is very limited, so it’s important that you prepare as much as you can beforehand. In this blog, our Long Island personal injury attorney explains how to best prepare for your consultation with a personal injury attorney.

Bring a List of Questions

Don’t let the intimidation of meeting with an attorney keep you from asking questions you feel are important. Before your meeting, write down a list of the questions you want to ask and be sure to include questions pertaining to the attorney’s legal experience – what percentage of the firm is dedicated to personal injury? Has the attorney handled similar cases?

Collect Medical Records

Medical records are a crucial component to a personal injury case. Not only do medical records outline the extent of your injuries, treatment you’ve received, and procedures you’ve undergone, these records can also give your attorney a better idea of your case and its timeline.

Familiarize Yourself With What Happened

You’ll be asked on numerous occasions to recount how, where, and when the accident happened. The most important thing to remember when explaining the accident is to keep it consistent – any inconsistences can be used against you. In these types of cases, you must show that the injuries you sustained in your accident were directly caused by the defendant and the injuries have diminished your quality of life.

The dedicated Long Island personal injury attorneys at Silverman & Rosken, Esqs. have assisted clients in a number of personal injury matters including auto accidents, slip & fall accidents, construction site accidents, and more.

Let us pursue justice on your behalf. Call us today at (631) 925-2117 to request a case evaluation.
