Preparing for a personal injury consultation may seem a bit intimidating, especially if it is your first time. Starting from an informed and organized position can make it much easier. Below are a few tips for preparing for a personal injury consultation to help the process flow smoothly.

Prepare A List Of Questions

As with most things,  preparation is key. Keep a running list on paper or in your phone that you can add to whenever you think of a question you want to ask prior to your appointment. Your initial consultation is the ideal time to ask all of your important questions. Ask your attorney questions about prior experience, successful settlements & verdicts, as well as availability.

Collect All Important Supporting Documentation

Evidence is key in any personal injury case. Gather all the relevant documentation possible to support your case. Below are some examples of things you may want to bring to your personal injury consultation:


  • Accident report
  • Police report
  • Medical records and reports
  • Medical bills & receipts
  • Photos or video footage
  • Any written statements you have received
  • Any statements you have received from insurance companies

Record Details Of The Incident

As soon as possible, record all the details about the incident that you can remember. Memories can fade or even change over time. While your memory is fresh, write out a detailed record of everything that happened before, during, and after the incident. Bring this with you to your consultation as well.
