Tell the Truth When Talking to Your Attorney

WC_Injury

When a person is injured, they may feel vulnerable. After all, they are trying to figure out a way to protect their future. They need to physically heal and find a way to cope with all of the expenses that are piling up alongside a medical treatment plan. Because of this, an individual may be tempted to lie about their past to protect their assets, but in reality a strong claim relies on honesty. Be clear and straightforward with your lawyer. A winning strategy can be developed if a lawyer knows the facts.

Do you have worries about sharing the facts of an event with a lawyer? Know that you can trust a qualified and experienced Baltimore personal injury lawyer. They are trained to advocate for their clients.

Information to Discuss with Your Lawyer

Meeting with an attorney is a time to go over the possibility of filing a personal injury claim and discussing what settlement amounts may be secured. Your lawyer will let you know what can be done to strengthen your claim. In order for a legal team to do their job best, all information should be shared. If a person thinks a bit of information will be harmful to their claim, they may be tempted to withhold it. Instead, be honest so your lawyer can strategize and be prepared.

Things to share include the following:

  • Pre-existing health issues.
  • Prior injuries and any personal injury claims that were a result of those injuries.
  • Other lawsuits, including workers’ comp cases, a person is involved with.
  • Criminal history or arrest record.
  • Insurance company communications.
  • What happened at the accident site, including details of the event that caused injuries.
  • Police report from the event.
  • Location and time of the accident.
  • Documentation, including photos and videos of the accident.

When a lawyer knows all of the details of an event and the person’s past issues, they can strategize, determine negligence, and pave a clear path to justice.
