During your first consultation with a personal injury attorney after an accident, they will collect a lot of information from you. This includes facts about your medical treatment and people involved in the accident. When your lawyer asks you questions, it’s important to give honest, detailed answers.

3 Questions Your Personal Injury Attorney Will Ask

1. What Happened Before, During & After the Accident?

When you speak with an accident lawyer for the first time, they will want to find out everything that occurred before, during, and after the accident. Let your lawyer know everything you can remember about the event. For example, if you were in a car accident, you may want to describe what the weather conditions were like that day and the other driver’s behavior before the crash occurred. If you spoke with anyone after the collision, like police or bystanders, let your lawyer know what you told them.

2. What’s the Current Status of Your Injuries?

A personal injury attorney will want to find out more information about the injuries you suffered during the accident. They may ask if you are in pain and if your injuries prevent you from doing everyday activities. Your accident lawyer may also ask when you’re expected to recover and if you require long-term treatment.

3. Have You Spoken With Any Insurance Adjusters?

A personal injury lawyer will also want to know if you have conversed with insurance adjusters since the accident. If you have, your attorney will ask if you provided a recorded statement about the accident.
