The First Meeting with Your San Diego Personal Injury Attorney

It can be unsettling to meet with your personal injury attorney for the first time. Keep in mind, your personal injury attorney is here to help you. The personal injury attorneys at the San Diego Law Offices of Jeffrey R. Frank will put you at ease and guide you through the difficult times that may lie ahead.

Be prepared to give your attorney the details of what happened. If you have any information such as: names and contact information of witnesses, officers names, doctors and hospitals names and numbers, medical policy numbers, insurance policy numbers, please have this information written out and ready to give to your personal injury attorney. If you have copies of the police reports, please bring them with you. Depending on your circumstances, the length of the first interview will vary.

An attorney will normally listen to what you have to say before asking questions. Answer your attorney's questions directly and honestly. It is the job of your personal injury attorney to tell you the truth about where you stand. You may not like what your attorney has to say.

In order to obtain the most beneficial outcome your attorney may need to look else where for information. This information may have to come from outside sources.

Please be prepared to discuss these topics:

• The release of your medical and dental records.
• Information about your insurance coverage.
• Have you talked to any insurance adjustors? If so, what you have said and did you provide a recorded or written statement.
• Has anyone else tried to interview you about the accident or your injuries? If so, whom you talked to and what you said.
• You will be asked about the current status of your injuries.
• You may be referred to a doctor or dentist for an examination if you are having any physical problems or complaints.
• Your attorney will advise you not to talk about yourself or the case with others. This is critical advice. Refer all questions to your attorney.

Your lawyer will give you an idea of the expected time table it will take to settle your case. Your lawyer will go over contact information with you and will keep you informed as to the progress of your case.
