Our FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will I need to pay any money upfront to get my personal injury started?
No, you will not need any money to get your case started or to initially meet with an attorney. We handle most cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we do not get paid unless you recover money.
-
What is a deposition?
A deposition is a statement given under oath, usually done in a lawyer’s office before a court reporter. Witnesses called to testify in a deposition answer questions posed by attorneys representing both parties in a case. The court reporter produces a written transcript of everything said at the deposition and the witness can read and sign the transcript, swearing it to be an accurate rendition of the testimony given under oath.
-
What documents should I bring with me when I meet with a lawyer?
The more information you are able to gather for your attorney, the easier it will be for your attorney to determine whether your claim will be successful. You should supply any documents that might have a bearing on your case, including, but not limited to, collision reports, photographs and medical records. If you have not collected any documents, do not worry because your lawyer will be able to obtain them.
What to Do After Being Involved in a Morgan City Accident
If you are injured because of someone else’s negligent actions, take the following steps:
- Ensure you are safe. If possible, move to a safe area, but do not leave the scene of the accident.
- Report the accident. Even for seemingly minor accidents, a police report can be crucial for future claims and provides an official account of the incident.
- Document the scene. Take extensive photographs and videos of the entire accident location, including damage to vehicles or property, any visible injuries, the surrounding environment, license plates of vehicles involved, and street signs and traffic conditions.
- Collect witness information. Gather the contact details of anyone who witnessed the accident.
- Seek medical attention. Get a complete medical examination, even if injuries seem minor or insignificant.
- Notify your insurer. Report the accident to your insurance provider as soon as possible. Provide only factual, basic information and avoid making detailed statements without legal counsel.
- Preserve evidence. Carefully keep all related documents, including police reports, medical records, repair estimates, correspondence with insurance companies, photographs, and witness statements.
- Seek legal representation. A legal professional can provide guidance and protect your interests.
- Limit communication about the accident. Be careful about what you say and to whom, as statements can be misinterpreted or used against you.
- Focus on your continued recovery. Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and carefully document your recovery process. This strengthens your claim and supports your recovery.
