Defending Your Custody Agreement: Protecting Your Education Choices

How To Get Ready For An Initial Consultation With A Personal Injury Attorney

by Daryl Young

When you make the decision to meet with an attorney to discuss the potential of your personal injury case, there are a number of ways that you can prepare. You want to give your attorney as much information as possible so that they can make an educated decision about your case. If you don't have the right documentation, or you are not able to show proof of your injuries, it is going to be difficult to take on your case. From images of the accident to copies of your medical record, the more information you can gather and have with you, the easier your meeting will be. 

Your Treatment Records Since the Accident

When you get injured in an accident your first medical treatment may be at the emergency room. You will follow up with your primary care doctor and be sent to specialists as necessary. Get a copy of every medical appointment, including your emergency room visit if there was one. If possible, bring any copies of X-rays, MRIs, or other testing that was done. Your attorney will want to take a careful look at your medical record to determine if your case is viable.

The Accident Report and Witness Statements

If you were in an auto accident that caused your injuries there will be an accident report. Read if over carefully to see if there are any mistakes. Review any witness statements and make copies of everything you have for your attorney to review. If you have pictures of the accident and your subsequent injuries bring those with you too. Any documentation you have regarding the accident is important to a personal injury attorney.

Your List of Questions

When it comes to a personal injury lawsuit you may have many questions to consider. Write down what you remember of the accident and take the time to think about the questions you have. You may want to know how strong your case is, or what the potential financial outcome could be. If you are found at fault for any of the accident you may want to talk about how this could impact your overall case.

After an accident you may be thinking about filing a personal injury lawsuit. Set up an initial consultation with personal injury attorney services so that you can talk about the merits of your case. Bring all the documentation with you that you have in order for your attorney to properly assess your case.

Defending Your Custody Agreement: Protecting Your Education Choices

When my ex-husband decided to contest my choice to homeschool our children, I knew that I had to defend my right as the custodial parent. Our custody agreement gave me authority over educational decisions, but he still took me to court. I spent a lot of time working with an attorney to find out how best to handle it, and I did a lot of research on the laws as they applied. If you're trying to defend your educational choices amidst your divorce, this site may help. I've built it to share everything I learned and explain the process that I went through to secure my rights.
