Your first consultation with your car accident attorney is your most important one so it’s a good idea to be prepared for it. Most attorneys will offer free consultation and this allows you some time to gauge whether the lawyer is the right fit for you.
At Kahn Roven, LLP, we understand that our clients want to make the most of the first consultation and therefore ask a set of questions that will help us understand the case and offer the best advice possible. Here are some of those questions:
1. When and where did the accident take place?
The answer to this question will help them collect evidence. They’ll know where to start and will visit the accident site to get more details regarding the case. They might even find some video evidence from nearby CCTV cameras if they know where and when the accident took place.
2. Who were involved?
The car accident lawyer in Los Angeles needs to look at the case from all perspectives so they’ll want to speak with other people involved in the accident as well. If you have any information about the other parties, you should provide them to your lawyer immediately.
3. Did you sustain injuries?
The lawyer will need to know the full extent of your injuries in order to determine the accurate compensation amount. They also need to know if there are any long-term or permanent medical consequences of your accident.
4. Did your property sustain any significant damage?
They will also need to know how much damage your car sustained during the accident. While this is usually covered by the car insurance, the extent of damage to your car and it’s condition will help Los Angeles car accident attorneys build their case.
5. Are you liable in any way?
The final question to consider is liability. The lawyer will want to know if you’re liable for the accident in any way in order to prepare an air tight case for you. It’s vital to be honest and straightforward regarding your liability.
Answering these questions will help the attorney understand the case and determine how they intend to approach it. It’s important to be honest, open, and discuss everything you know about the accident with the lawyer in order to get a good legal consultation.
