At the Law Office of James Trainor, P.C., you can ensure that our skilled New York City personal injury attorney is on your side.
What documentation should I bring to my initial consultation?
The purpose of the initial consultation with an attorney is to allow your attorney to become more acquainted with your case. If you have your first appointment with your attorney, the best way you can familiarize your attorney with your case is by bringing a number of different documents. These documents typically include the following:
- Health insurance and any other relevant insurance information
- Proof of injury, including photos and videos from the accident and contact information of any witnesses
- A written version of the events of the accident and the events that followed
- Medical documents describing the origin and extent of your injuries and receipts showing the cost of any medical expenses you incurred
- Statements concerning the amount of time you missed from work as a result of your injury, resulting in lost wages and opportunities
- If the police or medics were contacted, a copy of the report
- A list of questions you would like to ask your attorney

What will my attorney likely ask me at my first visit?

- How have your injuries impacted your everyday life?
- Have you given a statement to your insurance company?
- Have you ever filed a personal injury claim before?
- What is your official prognosis?
- Have you had any correspondence with the other party or their insurance company? If so, bring a copy of this correspondence.
