CLIENT CHECKLIST

To make the most of your appointment with our attorneys, we offer some advice for potential clients to address your concerns and help explain your case.
  • PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS.  Do not sign any release forms given to you by the insurance company of any at-fault party.  It is easy for accident victims to be manipulated into accepting inferior offers from insurance adjusters, but they do not have your best interest at heart.  Insurance companies often delay settlements or fight to pay less than you are owed. Discussing your options with an attorney prior to giving up your rights will prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you. 
  • COME PREPARED.  In order to describe the specifics of your case, it is essential to bring in any evidence that you have accumulated thus far.  Some helpful items include pictures of the accident scene or that depict the severity of your injuries, any medical records you have obtained, police reports and insurance paperwork.  It is better to bring a surplus of information than to leave anything important at home.
  • BE TRUTHFUL.  Your conversations with your lawyer will be strictly confidential, but it is of the utmost importance that you are truthful from the beginning.  In order to pursue your claim and prevent time-consuming hurdles, we must know all the facts up front.
  • ASK QUESTIONS.  Suffering an injury or coping with the wrongful death of a loved one are traumatic experiences, and we understand that.  Pursuing a lawsuit for the first time can be daunting, and we encourage you to ask questions to ensure that you always understand what your options are and how we are working for you
