At Donaldson Law, LLC, our Denver personal injury attorneys know that when our Colorado residents are hurt or lose a loved one to another person or party’s negligence, the prospect of meeting with a lawyer for the first time may be overwhelming. We understand.

We believe that knowing what to bring to your initial consultation will help allay the anxiety involved in that initial meeting. Whether you choose to partner with our law firm, or another Colorado personal injury attorney, we want you to be prepared.

The following checklist can help.

What Should I Bring to My First Meeting with a Colorado Personal Injury Lawyer?

When it comes to preparing for your initial consultation with a personal injury lawyer in Colorado, certain documents and records will allow us, or another attorney, to fully assess your case.

They include:

Name and address of the hospital or medical facility where you were first taken after your injuries occurred, and the details of the ambulance company that transported you (if applicable).
Dates you were admitted and released from the hospital.
All healthcare information, including diagnoses, treatment records, and future medical needs.
List of current prescription medications, medical devices, or additional treatment needs.
Any bills you may have already received from physicians and/or hospitals.
Any invoices or expenses associated with chiropractors and/or physical therapists.
Health insurance coverage that was used during your medical treatment (if applicable).
Auto insurance coverage and accident details — if your injuries were the result of a vehicle collision — along with the other driver’s information, witness statements, photos/video, or accident reports taken at the scene of the crash.
Documentation of any lost work or income caused by the injuries, which may include days away from work, and a current paystub/W-2 that outlines your wages.

Once our Denver personal injury attorney reviews your claim during a free consultation, you are free to ask any questions about our law firm, our experiences, and our previous successes, so can make an informed decision about how your case unfolds. You do not have to commit to legal representation after your initial consultation. It is important for you to find an attorney you are comfortable with, so you can pursue the best outcome for your unique case without any pressure.

Contact our skilled personal injury lawyers in Denver at Donaldson Law, LLC by calling (720) 458-5000 or contact us online to schedule a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case. We are here to help get you through this challenging time, so you can take back control of your life.

CLIENT REVIEWS

My husband was rear-ended and his head broke through the back window of the truck. We decided to give things time to see if he improved. The other insurance company dragged things on forever. That’s when we decided we needed an attorney. We did not fully understand the statute of limitations and called a few attorneys thinking we had enough time. We quickly found out that in the land of the law, we were cutting it very close. The other attorneys we called passed saying that they just didn’t have the time to handle our case; we didn’t even get a chance to speak with anyone but the receptionist. Then I called Jennifer Donaldson and spoke to Melanie who is part of Jennifer’s incredible team. – Jackie G.

I was hit by a car while I was in a crosswalk. Afterward, I underwent multiple surgeries and occupational therapy. I was out of work after losing the use of my hand for a period of time. I knew that I couldn’t deal with the insurance companies on my own. After some research, I found Jennifer and Melanie. They were amazing through the whole process and the result was a very generous settlement. They were also able to get my health insurance to waive their subrogation claim. They have both been great to work with. Throughout my claim, they communicated with me and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend using Jennifer Donaldson if you ever need an attorney for a personal injury case.– Zander O.

Jennifer and her team were fantastic. They guided me through the whole process after getting into a car accident. She fought for me, and gave me and my family the best support. I don’t think I could have made it through the whole process without Jennifer and her team. Their knowledge of the insurance industry was very helpful and was a key factor in the outcome of my case.– Tony D.

My wife was involved in a serious auto accident where she sustained serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Ms. Donaldson was professional, compassionate and very thorough from beginning to end. Her focus was to make sure that we were made whole. Her thorough work resulted in a settlement that provides for our needs for the rest of our lives. Ms. Donaldson is a great attorney.– Tony D.

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle, causing me serious and permanent injuries. Ms. Donaldson handled my case in a very professional manner with outstanding results. She worked hard to make sure we got a settlement without the need for litigation while still getting the maximum recovery available. She and her staff were very thorough and stayed in constant communication. Overall, Ms. Donaldson was outstanding during the entire case. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of representation for their personal injury claim.– Leigh C.
