Schwartz Zweben LLP, Personal Injury Attorneys
Following an injury or injustice, it is important to collect relevant personal injury information and documents relating to the accident, injury, or abuse. To help you determine the pertinent personal injury documents you need, the personal injury attorneys at Schwartz Zweben LLP have created this brief Personal Injury Information and Documents Checklist. As you collect your personal injury documents, check them off the list and place them in a folder or large envelope. Bring the folder of documents and any other pertinent information applicable to your case with you when you meet with your personal injury lawyer for the first time. If you have been unable to find a personal injury attorney in your local area, please contact Schwartz Zweben LLP. We are a national personal injury and accident law firm with primary offices in Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, and Maryland and partner firms in all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.
