Chicago Motorcycle Accident Attorney - Prepare for Your Consultation

If you are meeting with a Chicago motorcycle accident attorney, be prepared for your first consultation visit.

When you first contact your Chicago motorcycle attorney after an accident, you might not know whether you have a case or not. (Read about the 4 steps to take after an accident.) The goal of the first consultation is to learn about your legal rights and outline out a plan of action.

Prepare Ahead

When you meet with a Chicago motorcycle accident attorney, bring the following information to your consultation:

1. The date the motorcycle accident happened.
2. The exact location of the accident.
3. Name of the authorities who responded to the accident.
4. Copy of the police report.
5. Names of the doctors and hospital that provided medical treatment.
6. The initial diagnosis.
7. The name of your insurance company.
8. The medical treatment you are receiving for your injuries.
9. The names of people involved in the motorcycle accident.
10. The events that happened before, during, and after the accident.

This information will give your attorney a better idea of how the crash occurred, who is liable for the accident, and what the damages may be in case you pursue legal action.

Documents to Bring With You

If you have any documents related to your injuries or accident, bring these along to the meeting. Documents that may be helpful include medical reports, bills that you have incurred as a result of the motorcycle accident, and police reports.

There are no particular documents that you must carry with you to your initial consultation with the lawyer. The documents that may be required may depend on the circumstances and factors specific to your case. Generally speaking, at the first meeting, the attorney will want to know a detailed description of your accident and what has happened since the accident.
