Preparing for an Initial Consultation with a Personal Injury Attorney
Suffering a sudden accident can make a person feel both financially and personally vulnerable. For that reason, people will often turn to a Personal Injury Lawyer for help because they are looking at immense financial uncertainty or even bankruptcy due to their injury. The outcome of a personal injury case can provide victims with much-needed relief, such as a settlement that can provide funds for medical bills, home and vehicle modifications, and other necessary services.
At Maison Law, we understand how important it is to reach a successful outcome for your case, and having an adequate preparation list for when you first contact a Personal Injury Lawyer can help you get started. You can prepare for your initial consultation by detailing the following:
- Employment details: current or former employer, job title, dates of employment, and compensation information.
- Nature of the complaint: type of carelessness that led to your injury (premise liability, car accident, defective equipment)
- Timeline of events: dates of key incidents, formal complaints filed, relevant communications with employer
- Details about the incident: small details can make a huge difference when it comes to proving liability and damages
- Receipts and Invoices: any documentation you have of expenses related to your injury or accident may help in proving your damages
- Witnesses: names and contact information of potential witnesses to the alleged misconduct
- Documentation: list of relevant documents (x-rays, MRIs, doctor’s diagnosis, physical therapy appointments, workers’ compensation forms)
- Prior legal action: if you’ve filed previous personal injury claims, then the details of your previous case may be relevant to your new case
- Medical information: details about your medical diagnosis and treatment plan
- Social media presence: your injury may be documented online, as well as you discussing the details of your personal injury
How to Know if You Have a Personal Injury Case
It is natural to wonder if you have a legitimate personal injury case. If you suffered any type of injury due to another person’s carelessness or a hazardous condition, then you have a personal injury case. If you’re unsure about your situation, please do not hesitate to contact one of our attorneys today for a free case review, and we’ll be happy to discuss your legal options.
While it is important to remember that every personal injury case is different, here are some signs you have a strong personal injury claim:
- The defendant admitted fault. Admission is a powerful tool our firm uses to bolster the facts of your case. Through interrogatories and depositions, we form the right questions to get to the truth of the matter, especially if the defendant is clearly at fault.
- The incident was caught on camera. Store cameras, traffic cams, and eyewitnesses may have caught the incident when it happened. Undeniable evidence, such as footage of the incident, can make your request for fair compensation undeniable. Our firm will help you obtain the necessary evidence to strengthen your case and make your statements irrefutable.
- You’ve suffered severe injuries. Serious and verifiable injuries are a part of a strong personal injury case. If you do not have a record or evidence of injury, then you won’t have much ground to stand on when making a demand for compensation. Our firm will connect you with trusted doctors, surgeons, and orthopaedists to document the extent of your injuries.
- Defendant has a history of carelessness. If the defendant who injured you in your incident has a record of carelessness, this can strengthen your case. It is not uncommon for defense attorneys or the insurance company to attempt to place blame on you for your injuries. But if the defendant has a history of negligence, then it will be difficult to argue that you were at fault.
- You’ve taken the right steps. After suffering an injury, it is expected to seek medical treatment and to continue treating your injury. A lapse in treatment may seem like you’re not that injured, or it has not seriously impacted your life. The attorneys at Maison Law will help you manage your treatment and make sure you are taking all the correct steps to reach a successful settlement.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Two years. You have up to two years from the date of your accident to file a claim. But don’t delay. The sooner you turn your case over to an attorney, the easier it will be to gather fresh evidence, secure security footage, and track down witnesses.
First and foremost, call 911. You must ensure your child has access to medical care and that the police file a report of this crash. If your child isn’t significantly injured, you should encourage them to take pictures of the crash site, collect eyewitness testimony, and get the other driver’s name, phone number, and insurance info. Later, you could request the official police report from CHP and speak with an injury lawyer for guidance.
If you feel we can help you earn more for your claim, you won’t need any upfront money to hire Maison Law. We don’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement money you receive.
