Contact Information: Provide your lawyer with your full contact information, including address, phone number, and email.

​

Accident Details: Bring a detailed account of the accident, including the date, time, and location. Be prepared to discuss how the accident occurred and any contributing factors.

​

Police Report: If available, bring a copy of the police report. This document often contains crucial details about the incident.

 

Insurance Information: Provide your insurance information and any correspondence you've had with your insurance company. Bring details about the other party's insurance as well.

 

Medical Records: If you sought medical attention, bring records of your injuries, treatments, and any prescribed medications. This includes hospital records, doctor's notes, and receipts for medical expenses.

 

Photographs: Bring any photographs or videos you took at the accident scene. This visual evidence can be valuable in assessing the extent of damages and liability.

 

Witness Information: If there were any witnesses to the accident, provide their names and contact information. Witness statements can potentially strengthen your case.

 

Communication Records: Bring any communication you've had with the other parties involved, insurance companies, and any relevant third parties. This may include emails, letters, or text messages.

Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions and concerns you have about your case. This will ensure that you cover all important aspects during your meeting.
