Can I Discuss My Case With People Besides My Lawyer?

The Toledo accident lawyers at our law office have shared different tips for clients to ensure that their case goes smoothly and there are no unnecessary complications throughout the legal process. The first tip that our lawyers inform clients of is the fact that they should never discuss their case with anyone other than members of the legal team and those who are directly related to the case, such as a spouse, doctor, or other persons who receive authorization.

So, for clients of The Charles E. Boyk Law Offices, LLC, we say:

Do not discuss the case with anyone other than members of this office, your spouse, your doctors, or other persons your attorney authorizes you to discuss your case.

You may be wondering why the lawyers at our law office want our clients to be so tight-lipped about their case. The answer is that there are members of insurance companies working against clients, trying to find out information and get their hands on medical records that will then allow them to somehow reduce the settlement awarded or threaten the credibility of our client’s injury claims.

In our valuable resource, The Ohio Accident Book, our accident attorneys spell out the reasons why it is important to not provide statements to the insurance adjuster as well as sign any forms authorizing insurance companies to gain access to your medical records. By telling clients it is important to not discuss the details of their case; it is essentially an extension of the tips in The Ohio Accident Book.

Clients who do not have experience with personal injury cases will also not be aware of the many aspects of such claims. It is imperative to not discuss details of your case because if you want your lawyer to successfully represent you, you will not want other individuals to know the “secret weapons” your attorneys will be using during a trial, if your case comes to that point.
