In order to best represent you, your lawyer must have a complete understanding of the circumstances and events of your injury. This means no surprises and no secrets, which can hurt your case later on. Be prepared to have an honest discussion of your current medical state, how your injuries have affected your life, how the accident happened, how it has affected your life, your doctors’ prognosis, and what you’ve told the insurance company.
The better you understand the process and know what to expect throughout, the better prepared you will be and the better the outcome will be. A good lawyer knows this and emphasizes how important it is for you to understand what’s going on. Your personal injury lawyer will walk you through the general process, answer your questions, and provide you with additional resources to help you understand the process.

Your personal injury lawyer and their team will do a lot for you and your case, but it is your case, and you play a crucial role. Part of your personal injury attorney’s role is to coach you during the length of your case to make sure you maximize your chances of a favorable outcome. Your lawyer will emphasize the importance of receiving medical care and attending appointments as well as being consistent, truthful, and transparent throughout the process.
A good relationship between client and attorney means an open channel of communication. Your lawyer may not always be immediately reachable, but a good lawyer will always return your calls and emails. Your law firm should have the support of a proactive, organized, kind, and communicative staff that will always be available to answer your questions and communicate your thoughts and concerns to your attorney. Make sure you leave your first meeting knowing the best way to get in touch with your legal team.
