Abstract: Driving a car carries with it many responsibilities, such as obeying traffic laws and obtaining insurance. If you are in a serious accident, you will benefit from having an attorney represent you both for your own damages and against any claims others might make against you. But what sort of things is your attorney going to be interested in knowing, and what documents might he or she be interested in reviewing? This is a checklist of items to think about before meeting your attorney after you've had a car accident.
