What to Expect in a Personal Injury Consultation
At Wakefield Law, we’ve been helping clients with their personal injury cases since 1995. We believe every personal injury client deserves expert legal insight without unnecessary pressure. We, like most honest and experienced firms, offer free consultations for personal injury cases—with no obligation to hire us. Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident or another incident caused by negligence, this first meeting is a vital step toward protecting your rights and understanding your path forward.
Here’s what a personal injury consultation looks like at Wakefield Law:
Your Recovery Comes First
We’ll begin by asking how you are and how the healing process is going. Talking about an accident can be traumatic and uncomfortable, but we need to know details so we can help create a strategy that keeps your interests in the forefront. Be prepared to discuss:
What your treating physician has recommended
Whether medication, physical therapy, or surgery was prescribed
Any ongoing pain, limitations, or emotional distress
Crash Details Matter
Even minor collisions can have major consequences. Our attorneys will ask about:
The extent of vehicle damage
Photos of the scene, if available
Weather or road conditions at the time
Any witnesses or cameras at the scene
Whether there was a police report or ambulance transport
These facts help us determine liability, causation, and potential recovery routes.
Insurance: Know What You Know
Many clients arrive unsure about insurance details—and that’s okay. We’ll work with what you have, including:
Any information about the at-fault party’s insurance
Your own auto and health insurance coverage
Whether MedPay or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage might apply
Whether there are any other sources of insurance that might help protect your rights
Don't worry if things feel unclear. Our job is to untangle the details and ensure nothing gets missed.
Every consultation at Wakefield Law is private, thorough, and tailored to your situation. There’s no obligation to move forward, and we won’t rush your decision. We are here to help if it’s a good fit - What matters most is that you feel empowered and informed from the start in a time of chaos, pain, and uncertainty.
If you or someone you care about has been injured because of someone else’s negligence, feel free to let us walk you through the process – with no obligation or pressure, it can only help and give you knowledge that might be the difference in protecting your rights.
