There are no strings attached after this free case review. However, to determine your legal options, an attorney needs to first understand the details and other factors that may impact your potential case. For this reason, most of what he or she asks will focus on the event that caused your injuries. These are some of the initial questions he or she is likely to ask you in your consultation:
For there to be a case, an attorney will need to be able to prove negligence caused the accident – and your injuries. The information the attorney obtains will help him or her make this determination, because:
Everything you share is confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege. Therefore, it is safe – and necessary – to be completely honest and accurate when you respond. Leaving out details or exaggerating the truth could damage your credibility – and the value of your potential claim.
It can be difficult to remember everything that is important without having notes to help jog your memory. For this reason, we recommend gathering documents and writing up some notes before your free initial consultation.
Items that will help the attorney determine if you may have a case include:
Not only are you allowed to ask the attorney questions, but we encourage it. Your free case review should benefit both you and your potential attorney. Often, this can be an interview of sorts – to help you determine if our law firm is a good fit for you.
That said, it can be hard to remember everything you want to ask when face-to-face in a meeting. Therefore, we recommend writing down your questions – and leaving space to write down the answers you receive. This way you can look at them again later.
