A no cost, no obligation appointment can help you understand your legal rights

Why It Makes Sense to Schedule a Free Initial Consultation

After an accident, chances are good that you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed about what you should do next. Whether you have been involved in a truck crash, a slip and fall accident, a dog bite, a bus accident, a bike collision, a car accident, or any other type of accident, you may be facing medical bills, pain and suffering, increasing anxiety, and an uncertain future.

Attempting to get compensation for your injuries — let alone for the property damage you may have suffered in the accident — from the responsible party or insurance company can seem impossible. That is why it makes sense to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to help smooth out the process and to make sure that you achieve the best possible outcome.

Scheduling a free initial consultation with a personal injury attorney is the first step towards resolving your case and moving forward with your life. At your appointment, your lawyer will review your paperwork and give you an honest, straightforward assessment of your case. Your personal injury attorney will tell you if you have a valid case, and what your options are, such as sending the insurance company a demand letter, filing a lawsuit, or other steps. They can explain the process and tell you what to expect, such as how long it will all take, and what you may reasonably expect to recover as a result of your case (keeping in mind that no lawyer — no matter how good — can guarantee results in any case).

When you schedule a free initial consultation, you are under no obligation to hire this attorney. You may find that you don’t mesh well with this lawyer, and that you are not comfortable with their proposed strategy. The attorney may even tell you that you don’t have a strong case. Or you may decide that you want to hire them on the spot. The important thing is that the consultation is free: you get to understand a bit more about your case, your rights and options, all without paying the attorney or signing anything.

Making the most out of your free initial consultation means being prepared. Gather all of your important case documents, such as any accident reports, medical bills, photographs, and other documentation. If you have written down anything about the accident, you should bring that as well. Write down any questions that you may have, as you may be nervous during the meeting and forget to ask. Keep in mind that your attorney is on your side, and wants the same thing that you do: to get the best possible recovery.
