Preparing to meet with your Personal Injury Attorney

If you have been injured in an accident (car or other type of accident), or have suffered an injury due to the nonaction, negligence, or actions of another, it is important to see an attorney to discuss your possible claim.

Before you see an attorney, gather documents and other information you may have regarding the incident that caused your injury. Bring this information with you to give your attorney. You may have different types of information depending on your situation, or your attorney may ask you to bring additional information not listed in this checklist.

General information and documentation related to your injury may include:

*Name and address of the ambulance company
*Name and address of the hospital you were taken to
*The dates of the incident that caused your injury
*The dates that you were taken to the hospital/emergency room
*Names and addresses of the doctors that examined you
*Names and addresses of any witnesses to the incident that caused your injury
*Dates you were unable to work due to your injuries
*Name and contact information for your insurance company, insurance agent and any other insurance representatives you have talked to
*A copy of your accident report
*Copies of all written statements
*Applicable insurance policies
*Health insurance documents
*Disability insurance documentation
*Any other documentation, including hospitalization
*Medical Bills
*Receipts for anything you've had to buy or fix because of your injuries
*Documentation of lost wages
