5 itemsWhat to Prepare When Consulting an Automobile Accident Attorney
1. Why Chronology Matters in California Claims
Under California pure comparative fault rules, insurers actively scrutinize timeline gaps—such as waiting days before seeking medical evaluation or providing unrepresented recorded statements. Documenting identical dates for medical visits, tow dispatch, and insurer calls protects your factual credibility.
2. What to Ask During an Initial Consultation
- What is your fee structure (contingency percentage, litigation costs)?
- Who handles direct communication with adverse insurance adjusters?
- What additional evidence or police supplemental reports should be subpoenaed?
- What is the realistic timeline for medical lien resolution?
3. Protecting Sensitive Personal Data
Before emailing documentation to multiple prospective law offices, redact sensitive identifiers such as Social Security Numbers, health plan member IDs, and bank account details. Only provide full PII once a formal engagement representation agreement is signed.
