After suffering injury in a semi-truck accident, it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. The first step in this process is scheduling an initial consultation with an experienced Chicago truck accident lawyer to review the details of your case.

Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys explains everything you need to know about your free Chicago attorney consultation, including everything you should bring to your case review.

What Happens During an Initial Consultation?

When you’ve been in an accident in which you were not at fault, or you’re getting the runaround from insurance companies, you may consider hiring a lawyer to help you get the most compensation possible. But before you hire a lawyer, first you must find out if you have a viable case. 

During your first consultation at Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys, our legal team will collect vital information about your accident in order to determine if your personal injury case is worth pursuing from a legal and financial standpoint. You’ll be asked to share your account of the accident, including the injuries you sustained and supporting documents if you have them. Our team will then help you evaluate the merit of your case, develop potential strategies, and explore possible outcomes.

Your free Chicago attorney consultation at Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys is no obligation, meaning there’s no requirement that you retain a lawyer or even pursue a claim after your consultation. This service is provided at no cost to help clients learn more about the services we offer so that you can make your own informed decision.

What Should I Bring to My Initial Consultation?

It’s important for your potential lawyer to have a full understanding of your accident, the injuries you suffered, the bills you have amassed because of the accident, and who was at fault for the accident. While you don’t need to have all your documentation at your first consultation, the more information you bring the better. This may include:

Keep in mind that if you are unable to obtain relevant documents such as medical records or accident reports, our legal team may be able to assist in procuring them should you decide to retain our services.

In addition to any evidence you may have, you may also find it helpful to bring a supportive partner, family member, or close friend with you to your consultation. In the weeks and even months following a traumatic accident, it may still be difficult for you to revisit the details and their physical and emotional effects on your life, especially if you lost a loved one in the accident.
