A car accident is never a pleasant situation for any of the parties involved. If you are injured in a car accident, it’s important to contact a personal injury lawyer to represent you against the other party. This personal injury lawyer will unveil the facts and figure out who was negligent while driving. If the other party was negligent then you might be eligible for compensation. This compensation will help you pay for the damage to your car and any medical bills that you have to pay for.
But what do you tell your lawyer if you are in an accident? Is there certain pieces of documentation that you should bring to your personal injury lawyer’s office?
Let’s take a look at what you should tell and show your lawyer if you are in a car accident.
Give Them Information on The Crash Scene
The crash scene provides a wide range of information to help your lawyer pieced together the case and recover more compensation for you. Take pictures of the car crash and write down exactly what happened in order for your personal injury lawyer to understand everything about the car crash. You should also markdown the people who were involved, the streets where the car accident occurred, and if there were any witnesses.
Tell Them About Your Injuries From the Car Accident
Show your lawyer any injuries or car damages that occurred during the car accident. This helps them estimate exactly how much compensation you should receive for the car accident, and it helps reinforce their case against the other party. If you received horrible injuries and can prove it, this helps people sympathize with your side of the story.
Show Them Medical Bills to Get More Compensation
Medical bills don’t lie. If you have to pay thousands of dollars of medical bills after being injured in a motor vehicle accident, this is something that you will want to present to your personal injury lawyer. This gives them a benchmark of how much money they might be able to recover. You might receive additional compensation for trauma or psychological damages, but the medical bills are one of the first things that your personal injury lawyer will want to see. It’s also helpful to present any car repair bills that come as a result of the accident.
