What Your Injury Lawyer Needs to Know
Here are some important details that you should share with your personal injury lawyer:
-
DETAILS OF YOUR INJURY
Give your attorney details about your accident and injury, including where it took place, who was involved, how severe your injuries are, and more. The more detail and evidence you provide, the better it will be for your claim.
-
PRIOR INJURIES AND HEALTH CONDITIONS
Sometimes insurers will dig into a person's past medical records in an attempt to undermine their current claim. Provide your attorney with your full medical history so they can anticipate how the defense will react to your previous injuries.
-
BANKRUPTCY FILINGS
If you are filing for bankruptcy, your creditors may come after your settlement or use your financial history against you. Let your attorney know about any bankruptcy filings so they can plan a strategy for you.
-
CRIMINAL HISTORY
Although having a criminal past shouldn't prevent you from recovering compensation for an injury, it can hurt your case if you withhold this information from your attorney. The insurance company will likely run a background check to uncover any evidence they can use against you. Always tell your attorney about any misdemeanors or felonies so he or she can prepare accordingly.
-
IF YOU ARE FILING FOR DIVORCE
Personal injury settlements may be subject to division during a divorce, so make sure that you inform your attorney. If your injury was the cause of your divorce, this may also factor into the overall compensation package for your claim.
-
HAS ANYONE CONTACTED YOU ABOUT YOUR CASE?
Tell your attorney if the liable party or their insurance company has contacted you and what your conversation involved. If they continue to message or call you, forward these inquiries to your attorney. Avoid discussing any details of your case without consulting your attorney first.

What qualifies as a personal injury case in Woodbridge, NJ?
A personal injury case arises when someone is injured due to another person’s negligent actions or intentional act. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and dog bites.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this timeframe could result in losing your right to seek compensation.
