Meeting with your Attorney

The more information you provide to your personal injury attorney at the time of your first visit, the more knowledgeable he or she will be about the specific circumstances of your case. This is essential for your lawyer to supply you with the best counsel and advice about your options and strategies for approaching your lawsuit.

For your consultation with Timothy G. Anderson Tampa personal injury law firm, bring with you all documentation relevant to your injury claim including:

• Any police accident reports documenting damage or injuries
• Notes concerning your medical condition and any treatment received for injuries
• All pertinent medical records as well as medical bills including hospital injury reports and documentation of injuries from any doctor you have seen since the accident
• Notes of conversations you have had with other people directly involved in the incident
• Names of potential witnesses and their contact information
• Witness statements if they have already been provided as part of the police report
• Notes you have written that relate to the accident itself or that describe the scene surrounding the  accident
• Photographs of any damage to your vehicle and of any injuries you suffered
• Estimates of the cost to repair damage to your vehicle
• Records of other financial damages which might include pay or check stubs or tax returns
• Contact information for any medical or property insurance companies involved as well as any correspondence you’ve sent to or received from them
• Any newspaper accounts of the accident and injuries suffered
• Insurance cards for both automobile and group medical insurance
• Tape of 911 calls (if 911 was called the recording is usually available)

Additionally, you should come prepared with questions you would like to ask your attorney. It can often be helpful to write down all of your concerns in advance and bring them to your first consultation so you can be sure to receive answers.

Providing as much information and documentation (police reports, hospital injury reports, witness statements) will assist Tampa personal injury attorney Timothy G. Anderson to determine the validity of your claim and what additional information might be required to best represent your interests.
