What To Do Before Meeting with a Personal Injury Attorney
A car crash in the state of Texas is a common occurrence, but it is especially true for the 4th largest city in America – Houston, TX. Our city’s highways and traffic systems are overwhelmed by an ever-increasing volume of drivers, which has also lead to an increase in opportunities for auto collisions. When involved in an auto accident that results in injuries and lost wages, the burden of proof will be yours to demonstrate the need for compensation. Here is what you’ll need to know before your initial consult with an attorney, to increase your opportunities for success on your case.
Be sure to provide the following information for your Car Accident Attorney to review:
Personal Information
- Drivers’s License
- Social Security Number
- Health Insurance Card
- Medicare/Medicaid cards; if applicable
- An overview of your insurance policy
- A copy of your vehicle title (if the vehicle is a total loss)
