Chapter 1 – Our First Meeting: Navigating The Initial Consultation After An Accident

Why I Will Never Charge You Anything, My Injured Client, Anything

I want you to feel free to share your story without worrying about how much it might cost. That’s why your first meeting with me is always 100% free. This is true for most personal injury attorneys, but at Levian Law, we go a step further:

We will never charge you directly. The compensation we pursue comes from the at-fault driver’s insurance company—not your pocket. We don’t take a cent from you personally. Instead, our payment is a portion of what we recover from the insurance company.

Insurance companies may not want you to know this, just as they don’t want you to know how often they deny claims—even after years of happily taking your premiums. It happened to me, and it could happen to you. But with a strong legal strategy and persistence, we can make them pay what you deserve.

Feeling Nervous? You Don’t Have To Come Alone

If you’re feeling intimidated, unsure, or even worried about a language barrier, you don’t have to face this meeting by yourself. You’re welcome to bring anyone you trust—whether it’s a family member, friend, or someone who has supported you through your injury.

They can sit with you, ask questions, and help you feel more at ease. The more comfortable you are during our meeting, the better it will go for both of us. Open communication and trust are the foundation of a successful case, and I’m here to make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Initial Consultation Walkthrough: What You Can Expect

Your initial consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building your case. During this meeting, I’ll introduce myself and explain how I work, while you’ll have the chance to share your story and describe what happened in the accident.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Accident Details
I’ll ask about key facts, such as:

• • Whether the police were called to the scene.
  • If there were witnesses or potential video evidence (like traffic cameras or nearby surveillance).
  • The fault determination, if any, and whether you exchanged insurance information.
  • What type of vehicles were involved and the extent of the damage to each (bring photos, if possible!).

Your Medical Condition
We’ll discuss how you’re feeling physically and emotionally, the pain levels you’re experiencing, and the progress of your recovery. I’ll ask about the doctors you’ve seen so far and provide guidance on specialists or treatments you may want to consider. This step ensures we set up a clear plan for your medical care and long-term recovery.

Legal And Insurance Information
We’ll review any documentation you have regarding insurance policies, accident reports, and any notes or contact information you collected at the scene.

What To Bring For The Most Productive Meeting

To make the most of your first consultation, try to bring:

• All related documents, such as police reports or citations.
• Photographs, including those of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and your injuries.
• Insurance information, including your policy details and any correspondence with insurers.
• Contact details, such as witnesses or involved parties.
• Medical records or notes, including diagnoses, treatments, or recommendations.

If you don’t have all of these items yet, don’t worry—you can still provide them later if you choose to work with us.

What Happens Next?

After the initial consultation, we’ll help you begin the recovery process:

Medical Treatment

We’ll guide you to your first clinical treatment, where a medical provider will assess your injuries and create a treatment plan. It’s essential to follow through with this plan, as consistent care is vital not only for your recovery but also for building a strong case for financial compensation.

Next Steps & Welcome Package

You’ll receive a welcome package summarizing the process ahead, along with tools to help you track important details like:

• • Days missed from work and lost income.
  • Out-of-pocket costs, such as repairs or medical expenses.
  • Minor damages, like personal items lost or broken in the accident.

Ongoing Communication

Even if you don’t have all the information during our first meeting, you can provide it as we move forward. The most important thing is to keep us updated on your medical treatment, as your records will play a key role in the next steps, which we’ll explore in the following chapter.

This consultation is just the beginning of a partnership designed to ensure your recovery—physically, emotionally, and financially. Let’s get started.
