Attorney Injury Intake Questionnaire

Life for an injury victim often times becomes much more difficult after the injury, and the extent of one's injuries is not always clear until days or even months after the incident occurs. Not only does the victim suffer physically (and possibly mentally) as a result of an injury, but now the victim or a representative must deal with doctors, insurance companies, and possibly attorneys. Additionally, injury victims may need to provide documentation to their employer in order to justify (or be reimbursed) for recovery time.

Each of the parties involved will require the victim or a representative to provide them with documentation. If you are an injury victim and planning to file a claim, your attorney will ask a number of detailed questions; so preparing early will make the process much easier (while helping you remember key details).

If you are the person providing the documentation, filling out the form below will prepare you for most of the questions these individuals need answered. You can print this form in either PDF or Microsoft Word format and print it out.
