During the first consultation for a Cincinnati social security benefits case, it is important to be prepared and gather the appropriate information regarding your specific situation. Our Cincinnati workers comp attorneys depend on specific types of information during a client meeting in order to discuss your potential case and provide possible options.

Think about any workers’ comp information and documentation you may have. In the beginning of a consultation, our lawyers will want to know your identification and contact information. Be sure to inform us of your home/work address, home/work phone number, fax number, and email address. It is important to open all gateways of communication between workers’ comp lawyers and the client.

You should prepare background information regarding your employment and injury:

When were you hired?
What is your employer’s name and address?
What date was your accident?
What was your salary?
Where were you injured?
How did the injury happen?

It is necessary to provide information leading up to and resulting from your work-place injury:

Information regarding your injuries and any medical records.
A list of medical providers (names, addresses, phone numbers, treatment dates, testing information, and future medical treatments)
The names of those who were notified of your accident.

The first day you were unable to work or the first day you returned to work.
The name, contact information, and file number of your workers’ comp carrier.
Information regarding previous work and non-work related injuries.
An employee handbook.
Witness statements and a list of other employees who were working during the accident. 

Organization and documentation are key determinants to strengthening a client’s workers’ comp case.
