4 Things to Know Before Consulting With an Attorney Concerning a Truck Accident Case
Christopher Wilson
If you were involved in an accident with a semi-truck, you are going to want to consult with a semi truck crash attorney. Generally, when you meet with an attorney, your first consultation is free. This consultation is designed to see if you should move forward with your case. To get the most out of your consultation, you want to show up with information that will help the attorney really learn about your case quickly.
Information About the Trucking Company
To start with, bring any information you have about the trucking company with you. This will include information such as the driver's name, license plate number, and commercial driver's license number. Bring the name of any of the companies or business that were listed on the truck, or that the driver said that they worked for. If you have done independent research on these companies, bring that as well.
Information About the Actual Accident
Next, you need to bring information about the actual accident. What happened? Did the police respond? Do you know if anyone was issues a traffic violation? Where did the accident occur? Who witnesses or responded to the accident?
The more information you can write down and provide about the accident, the better picture the attorney will have of the accident. This will help the attorney determine if you have a case to move forward with.
Medical Information
If you were injured in the accident, you are going to want to let the attorney know about your medical state. Did you go to the hospital that day? What type of treatment did you get? Were any x-rays or scans taken? What type of follow-up treatment did you get? Have you ever had a similar injury? Are you still in pain or is your life still impacted by the injuries?
The more details you can provide about your medical condition, the better. The attorney is going to want to see documentation of your medical care, as well as clear evidence linking your injuries to the accident.
Personal Details
Finally, the attorney is going to want to know personal details about you. These personal details will help the attorney determine how you would present in front of a jury as well as what the other parties lawyers may be able to dig up on you.
It is smart to disclose if you have been in any other car accidents, if you have any criminal convictions, and if you are a licensed driver during this meeting. All of this information will help the attorney determine what type of case you have and will make your consultation as productive as possible.
