A little preparation goes a long way
Leal-Calandra Legal lists slip and fall representation. Start by explaining where the fall happened, the conditions you remember, and who has contacted you since the event. Tell the office whether an incident report, photographs, correspondence, or other records already exist. Ask which information the attorney needs to assess the inquiry and how to provide it. Describe the circumstances without assuming what the legal review will conclude about another person or business.
Ask whether the firm can review the type of incident you describe and what additional questions it expects to discuss with you. Confirm who would be responsible for updates, how documents are handled, and what the proposed fee agreement says about expenses. If the incident does not fit a fall-related inquiry, the broader personal injury service may help you choose a starting conversation. Discuss appointment arrangements and the steps needed for the attorney to accept the engagement before assuming representation has begun.
Good questions. A clearer next step.
A few things to know as you explore your options.
Explain what you remember and what remains uncertain. Ask the attorney what information is needed to assess the matter rather than drawing a conclusion yourself.
Tell the office which records exist and which do not. Ask what information would be useful for an initial discussion and whether the firm can assess the circumstances.
Clarify the scope, who handles the matter, how updates are provided, the fee arrangement, and any separate expenses. Ask when the firm considers the engagement accepted.
