You will have an initial meeting with your Taylorville personal injury attorneys, at which time you will explain your side of the story of how the accident occurred. Once this initial meeting is completed, your attorneys will conduct an investigation of your claim.

Reviewing Documents and Conducting Interviews

Your attorney will need to conduct interviews of all the witnesses whose names you provided. Each of these individuals can provide a unique and important perspective to the accident. Along with these interviews, your Taylorville personal injury lawyer will review:

• Police reports
• Medical records
• Medical bills

Your attorney may pay a visit to the actual scene of the accident, and possibly take photographs. This can prove important should the case go to court. He will then review the statutory and case law that is relevant to your case. It is possible that your attorney will also hire a private investigator to help look into specific details of your case.

Contacting the Insurance Company

Once you hire your attorney, it is his job to work with the insurance company of the person who caused your injuries. He will discuss certain details of the case with the insurance adjuster. After your attorney contacts the insurance company he will maintain contact with you. As your case goes forward it is very important that you adhere to the following:

• Follow the advice of your doctors and other medical practitioners.
• Provide your lawyer with copies of all your ongoing medical bills and related expenses.
• Continually give your lawyer records of lost income from your job.
• Make sure to keep track of people who may be potential witnesses in your case.
• Above all, make sure that you do your best to improve from your injuries.
