What to Bring to Your Appointment with Us

                                               

As Benjamin Franklin pointed out, "time is money." That's particularly true when it comes to an attorney's billable hours. Even though most personal injury lawyers handle cases on a contingency basis—meaning that the client will pay a percentage of the total settlement, not an hourly rate—a lawyer's time is valuable. It's important to be prepared for any attorney meeting. At the Mike Kelly Law Group, we respect the fact that your time is valuable, too. So being prepared saves you time as well.

 

Some attorneys send questionnaires for new clients to complete before the initial consultation. Whether or not that happens, as the victim, you should be proactive and be prepared to provide all relevant information at the initial consultation. Here is some of the information you should bring to your initial attorney consultation:

 

  • Names and contact information of all parties involved in the incident
  • A copy of the police report, if one was made
  • Bills and treatment records, if appropriate, from ambulance transport, hospitals, doctors, therapists and drug providers
  • A copy of your insurance policy and documentation of any claims you've made related to this injury
  • Copies of any insurance company correspondence related to the injury
  • Information about the amount of work you've missed and any pay that you've lost because of your absence

 

It’s also a good idea to bring a list of your own questions. Here are suggestions on what you may want to ask:

 

  • Will you take the case on a contingency basis?
  • How are any additional expenses handled?
  • How much experience do you have in personal injury law?
  • What is your success rate in this type of case?
  • How long do you anticipate it will take for the case to be settled or go to trial?
