What Should You Bring To Your Initial Consultation With A Personal Injury Attorney In Merrillville?

Bringing the following items to your initial consultation can help us get a quick and effective start to your case:

  • Accident reports: Any police or incident reports related to your injury. If you were in a car crash, you can request the full report from the local police department once they finalize your report.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments and medical expenses. These can include everything from doctor’s notes, x-rays and other medical tests that help demonstrate how severe your injury is and what caused it.
  • Insurance information: Details of your insurance policies and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Photographs: Pictures of the accident scene, your injuries and any property damage. These pictures can come from yourself, the police or any bystanders who witnessed the accident.
  • Witness information: Provide the contact details of any witnesses to the accident. This can include people involved or bystanders who saw the events unfold.
  • Financial records: Proof of lost wages or other economic impacts from your injury. These can come as missing paystubs, medical bills or notices from your electric, internet, water or gas providers.

By bringing these items, we can better understand your situation and work towards securing fair compensation.
