Your car acci­dent com­pen­sa­tion lawyer should be easy to speak with, have expe­ri­ence in fil­ing claims for road acci­dent injuries, and be able to pro­vide you with the facts; even if that means that you don’t have a viable case.

Before you meet with your lawyer you should have the fol­low­ing items and doc­u­ments on hand:

  • Acci­dent Report — This doc­u­ment will be cru­cial to deter­min­ing neg­li­gence and under­stand­ing exactly what or whom caused the accident.
  • Any Pho­tos Taken of Injuries and Prop­erty Dam­age — A pic­ture is really worth a thou­sand words in the case of an acci­dent, so bring any pho­tos that you have taken of your phys­i­cal injuries, acci­dent loca­tion and prop­erty damage.
  • All Med­ical Records and Bills — Hav­ing doc­u­men­ta­tion show­ing your med­ical care and bills will be required to doc­u­ment your injuries and cal­cu­late your dam­ages so bring them all.
  • Wit­ness Infor­ma­tion - Gather wit­ness state­ments that were taken by you and the police.
  • Insur­ance infor­ma­tion for the other per­son and your­self — Bring all insur­ance poli­cies that are rel­e­vant to the acci­dent includ­ing the infor­ma­tion of the other party.
  • Any expenses you have incurred as a direct result of the acci­dent - Col­lect receipts for any med­ica­tions, sup­plies, or other items you may have had to pur­chase as a result of the accident.
  • Loss of earn­ings — Bring along details of any loss incurred to date and doc­u­ments being able to prove the loss from your employer. If you are self-employed you should dis­cuss the require­ments with the lawyer.
