At Dingeman & Dancer, PLC in Traverse City, MI, we understand the importance of being well-prepared for this meeting. The following guidelines can help you make the most of your consultation. 

1. Documentation is Key: Gather all pertinent documents related to your case. This includes medical records, accident reports, photographs of the injury or accident scene, and any relevant correspondence with insurance companies. These documents provide a factual basis for your claim. 

2. A Detailed Account: Write a comprehensive account of the incident, including dates, times, and any witness information. Remember, details matter – even those that might seem minor could be crucial. 

3. Financial Impact: Prepare a detailed list of all expenses incurred due to the injury. This includes medical bills, loss of income, and any other related expenses. 

4. Questions to Ask: Compile a list of questions for your attorney. You may want to know about the legal process, the estimated timeline for your case, or the attorney’s experience with similar cases. 

5. Open Communication: Be prepared for a frank discussion about your case. Honest and open communication with your attorney is vital. 

6. Legal Goals: Consider what you hope to achieve with your claim. Whether it’s a specific settlement amount or simply holding the responsible party accountable, understanding your goals helps your attorney tailor their strategy.
