Your attorney must be equipped with all the information necessary to make a solid case when pursuing an injury claim. This could be due to a workplace injury, a slip and fall accident, or a car accident lawsuit. Your attorney will be able to fight for your rights if you provide them with all the details.
Here Is a List of Key Information That Your Attorney Needs to Know
1. Detail Description of the Accident
Your attorney needs to know the exact circumstances of the accident. Included in this are:
- Date and time: When was the accident?
- Location: where did the accident occur?
- Circumstances: What were the circumstances leading up to the accident? Was it an accident with the rear? A property defect caused you to fall? Your attorney will be able to establish liability if you provide details.
2. Medical Records and Treatment Information
The extent of your injury is one of the most crucial aspects of a claim for personal injuries. Your attorney will require:
- Medical Records: All your medical records relating to the injury including diagnosis, treatment, and any procedure.
- Doctor’s Notes: If applicable, the notes of your doctor about your condition, prognosis, and whether you will need long-term treatment or recovery.
- Receipts of Medical Expenses: Any bills, receipts, or invoices you have paid for medical treatments. This includes prescription costs and rehab expenses.
3. Police Reports and Accident Reports
Provide your attorney with the police report if law enforcement has been called. This document may contain important evidence about the cause of an accident, parties involved, and witness statements.
4. Witness Information
The testimony of witnesses can be crucial to your case. Their testimonies may support your version of the events if there were bystanders who saw the accident. Give their name, contact details, and the events they witnessed.
