We are often asked: What do I need to bring to my personal injury legal consultation?
Our answer: It is important to bring all the proper documentation to your first legal consultation to help your attorney know what they are up against and what resources they need to utilize to give you the best representation possible. Danay Gonzalez, partner at California personal injury firm Rodriguez & Associates, explains everything you need to bring to your legal consultation in the video below:
Before you come to a legal consultation with one of the personal injury attorneys at our firm, we ask you to bring the following items.
- Your I.D.: Identification helps your attorney track down any personal records and information required for your case.
- Social Security Card: Your SSN is vital for any legal paperwork, financial records, and insurance that may be involved with your case.
- Police Reports: This shows our attorneys the accounts and perspectives of what took place during your accident. Your attorney may use this to establish the best legal approach for your case.
- Medical Records: Medical records can be invaluable to your case. Any record of injuries you have sustained from your accident adds validity to your claim and will aid in helping you get maximum compensation for any damages you suffered.
- Photographs Related to the Accident: Visual proof of the accident can aid your case in court or during mediation. These will show the condition of the accident and the damages that happened as a result.
- Insurance Cards (medical or car insurance): Whether you were in a car accident or another cause of a personal injury, knowing your coverage lets your attorney know what expenses they need to pursue for your claim.
