Start with a short timeline
Write down the incident date, location, and what you personally observed. For a collision, note whether you were moving or stopped and the order of impacts. For a fall, describe the condition that caused you to fall. It is fine to say you do not know or do not remember. Keep your observations separate from what someone else told you.
Bring what you already have
- The date, location, and a short timeline of the incident.
- Photos, video, witness details, and any incident or police report number.
- Insurance letters, claim numbers, and any settlement or release you received.
- Available treatment records, bills, and information about missed work. You do not need a complete file to request a consultation.
Make a list of missing items rather than delaying contact until your file is complete. Keep original photos and video, and note where each document came from. The initial website form is for a short summary; ask Brian how to provide private records securely.
Organize insurance correspondence
Bring the claim number, insurer contact information, and complete copies of letters or proposed releases. Flag any deadline or request for a signature. If liability was denied, bring the actual letter rather than only your recollection of a phone call. Read the guide to disputed liability.
Ask concrete questions
- Will you personally handle my inquiry and case? Brian personally handles both.
- What additional facts or records would help evaluate the matter?
- What deadlines need attention now?
- How will we communicate, and what should I do if something urgent arrives?
- What does the written agreement say about attorney fees, case costs, and ending representation?
Understand the next step
An initial discussion may identify missing evidence or issues requiring further review. It is not a promise of a settlement amount or an agreement to represent you. Obtain a clear answer about whether the firm has accepted the matter and what you need to do next. Contacting the firm does not extend a deadline.
