Posted by Amy FalconJul 24, 20240 Comments

If you or a loved one is hurt or injured in an accident, your decision to contact an attorney and set up an initial consultation is a critical first step. At Ackerman & Falcon, we know that the best foundation for a strong attorney-client partnership is a meaningful and thoughtful initial consultation.

 

Preparing for an Initial Consultation After an Accident

 

After an accident, you may be drowning in information, opinions, and details about how to manage the aftermath. By taking these first steps, you may begin to feel in better control of your situation:

 

·      Summarize the Accident and Related Injuries. Our initial discussion can more easily focus on key facts if you've developed a summary of the accident and its aftermath.

 

·      Collect and Provide Relevant Documents. Make sure to bring the important documents related to the accident, including police or incident reports, medical records, and insurance documents. The more comprehensive information that our team has, the better and more detailed information we can give you.

 

·      Prepare Your Questions. An initial consultation is the perfect time to ask questions about the legal process. Our experienced attorneys and staff can address any concerns about the legal process and let you know what to expect in your case.

 

What to Expect at the Initial Consultation

 

We will listen to you during the consultation and learn about your case, accident, and injuries. We will review any documents you provide and ask questions to understand what happened.

 

With this background, we can provide an initial analysis of your case, its strengths and challenges, and the possible legal strategies and options available.

 

It is equally important that you ask questions. The attorneys at Ackerman & Falcon want to provide the information you need to make informed decisions.
