Make the first
conversation count.
Gather incident reports, photographs, medical records, insurance correspondence, and information about missed work. Preserve what you have and make a timeline while details are fresh.
Whether a claim is viable depends on the facts and applicable law. An initial conversation does not guarantee representation or a particular outcome.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you reach out.
Do I need all my records before calling?
You can begin by discussing the basics. Ask which records would be useful and how they should be provided.
What should I ask about timing?
Tell the lawyer the incident date and location. Ask which deadlines may apply to your circumstances instead of relying on a general deadline found online.
How are fees and expenses handled?
Ask about the proposed fee arrangement, responsibility for expenses, and what happens if there is no recovery. Any terms should be addressed in a written agreement.
