Understanding Personal Injury Claim Consultations
A large portion of personal injury claims in the DC metro area starts with an initial free, no-obligation consultation with an attorney. This consultation is meant to provide the attorney with information regarding your claim and for the lawyer to explain your rights to pursuing this type of claim. While you might have a vague idea of what your rights are after an accident, an experienced lawyer will explain them to you in a way that makes them clear and easy to understand. Types of questions you can expect from an experienced personal injury attorney are:
- How, when, and where did the injury occur?
- Have you sought medical treatment and followed up with a treating physician?
- Have you contacted the insurance company or been contacted by anyone affiliated with the insurance company such as an adjuster or nurse case manager?
But the attorney is not the only one who should be asking questions during a free consultation. To make sure you are finding the right attorney for your case, you should ask them questions about their experience handling these types of claims. Not all attorneys are created equally – and that’s why we compiled the most important questions everyone should be asking before hiring an attorney.
