Meeting with Your Personal Injury Attorney

Meeting with Your Personal Injury Attorney

When you hire a personal injury lawyer in San Jose, you will need to provide him or her with a few key pieces of information. Since this can be an extensive meeting, it helps to prepare in advance.

When you meet with your lawyer, you will have to furnish answers to a series of questions about your personal injury. Your lawyer will want to know about the situation that caused the injury, as well as how severe your damages are. If you have seen a doctor, it is a good idea to bring with you copies of any medical documents or bills that you have received. Let your attorney know if there were any witnesses to the accident and whether or not you have filed a police report or any other claims.
