Although you may not feel comfortable telling a stranger everything about yourself, you need to for the sake of your case and potential recovery. It is very important that you disclose everything to your lawyer so that your attorney doesn't receive any of this information from the opposing side.
The other side will use anything they can get their hands on to damage your case or to diminish your credibility in front of a jury. If your lawyer knows everything ahead of time, he or she will spin the questionable information in the right way, or will know how to defend that information properly when the time presents itself.
Some things you should always tell your lawyer following a Sarasota motorcycle crash, even if you think it will harm your case, include:
The speed you were driving
If you were speeding just moments before the crash
The road conditions
If driver fatigue contributed to the wreck
If you drank alcohol that night
If weather was a factor in the crash
Whether or not you were wearing a helmet
If you were driving without a license
If you borrowed that motorcycle
If you were in any prior Florida motorcycle accidents
You past medical history or any previous motorcycle injuries
If you keep things hidden from your lawyer because you think it will hurt your case, it just might. When you hire a Sarasota motorcycle accident attorney, be sure to tell them everything possible about the accident, the moments leading up the accident, your past driving record, past motorcycle injuries, and anything else that could harm your case.
