What to Bring when Meeting with Your Personal Injury Lawyer in Connecticut

You made the important decision of retaining a personal injury attorney, and now you want to ensure that your first meeting is as productive as possible.  That is also the goal of Alexander H. Schwartz, Attorney and Counselor at Law, who has helped numerous individuals just like you to gain compensation for their injuries.  The following is a list of items that he normally asks clients to bring to their initial consultation:

• Contact information, for yourself, as well as for anyone involved in the accident that caused your injury
• A list of witnesses who might have seen the accident, as well as their contact information
• Police or accident reports, if applicable
• Hospital records, medical bills, diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment plans
• Photographs of the accident, the scene, property damage incurred, or any injuries sustained
• Insurance information, for yourself or for anyone who may be held liable for the accident
• Copies of any correspondence with insurance companies.  If such correspondence thus far has been only verbal, try to bring an accurate, written record of the conversations that have taken place.
• Information related to lost wages, time at work, or permanent disabilities
• A list of ways in which the injury or accident negatively affected your life
• Estimated future costs incurred due to the accident
• Questions and concerns that you would like addressed by Connecticut personal injury lawyers

Of course, the specific documents that you bring may depend upon the type of case you present to your personal injury lawyer.  For instance, for a dog bite case, you may want to bring a copy of the homeowner insurance policy for the owner of the animal.  For a slip and fall case, you might take pictures of the area in which you fell, which can show what made it unsafe in the first place.  For an automobile accident, the repair estimate for your vehicle may be necessary in order to make a case for compensating those costs.
