What to Bring to Your First Meeting with a Houston Car Accident Lawyer

If you have been injured in a car crash, truck wreck, or motorcycle accident in Houston, Texas or a surrounding area, you might be considering making a personal injury claim against the person responsible for your injuries.  If so, please know our firm offers free initial consultations either at your home, in our office or at the hospital.  While not crucial, it is extremely helpful for those involved in the initial meeting with a Houston car accident lawyer to be prepared.  It is never a bad idea to bring with you ALL documents you have regarding the accident, your injury and your medical treatment.

Documents to being can include:

*Notes, photographs or police records related to or from the accident scene
*ALL medical records, bills, or prescriptions (ambulance, hospital, doctors, physical therapy, chiropractor)
*Discharge papers from the emergency room
*Pharmacy receipts
*Insurance information for you and the offending driver including the policy numbers, adjusters contact information, and the actual policy itself if you have it
*Photographs related to your claims including pictures of the vehicles involved, your injuries and the accident site, even if taken with a mobile phone camera - be sure to take photos showing the vehicle damage and resulting physical injuries

If you have e-mailed with an adjuster about your accident or injuries, save those e-mails and bring them in!

The more documents you bring to the initial meeting, the more productive the meeting will be. The attorney will be better able to evaluate your claim and offer you advice on how it is best to proceed.

The Texas Board Certified Personal Injury Lawyers of SMSH offer free consultations.  To set up your meeting today call us toll-free at 1-800-282-2122 or e-mail us at info@smslegal.com.
