What to Bring to Your Personal Injury Consultation (Crash, Fall, or Assault)
Aaron Feuer
If you’re meeting with a personal injury lawyer, coming prepared helps you get clear answers fast. Before your consultation, try to gather:
- Police report details (or incident report info)
- Photos or videos from the scene
- Medical paperwork and treatment records
- Insurance information for all parties
- Witness names and contact details
- A written timeline of what happened
At Aaron Feuer Law, we help injured clients in Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and across South Florida understand their options and take the next step toward compensation.
Why Preparation Matters for a Personal Injury Consultation
After an accident, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. You may be dealing with pain, missed work, medical bills, and uncertainty about what to do next.
A consultation is your chance to get answers.
When you bring the right information, your attorney can quickly evaluate:
- What type of claim you have
- Who may be responsible
- What compensation may be available
- What steps should happen next
Whether your injury happened in a car crash, a slip and fall, or an assault due to negligent security, the goal is the same: getting clarity and protecting your rights.
Key Documents to Bring (If You Have Them)
You don’t need to have everything, but the more you can provide, the better.
-
Police Report or Incident Report Information
For car accidents in West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale, bring:
- The crash report number
- The responding agency
- Any officer or case details
For falls or assaults, bring any store, apartment, or security incident report if one was made.
-
Photos and Videos
Visual evidence is often one of the strongest early tools in a personal injury case.
Bring any images of:
- Vehicle damage
- Hazardous conditions (wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting)
- Visible injuries (bruising, stitches, casts)
- The surrounding scene
-
Medical Records and Bills
Medical documentation connects the accident to your injuries.
Helpful items include:
- ER or urgent care discharge paperwork
- Doctor diagnoses
- Treatment plans
- Prescription information
- Physical therapy recommendations
Even if treatment is ongoing, early records matter.
-
Insurance Information
Bring any insurance details you have, including:
- Your auto insurance policy
- The other party’s insurance (if known)
- Health insurance coverage
- Any letters or emails from adjusters
Insurance companies often begin building their case immediately, so early legal guidance is important.
-
Witness Names and Contact Information
If anyone saw what happened, witness testimony can be critical.
This includes:
- Pedestrians
- Other drivers
- Store employees
- Neighbors or bystanders
Even one neutral witness can strengthen your claim.
-
A Simple Timeline of Events
Write down what you remember while it’s still fresh:
- When and where the injury happened
- What led up to it
- What symptoms started afterward
- Any conversations with the other party
These notes help your lawyer understand the full picture.
