Do not try to hide the truth from your lawyer about a past criminal history, or about drug or alcohol abuse. Once again, your lawyer can handle almost any problem if you tell your lawyer about the problem. If your lawyer is “ambushed” by the insurance company with such damaging information, your lawyer has no time to prepare a defense.
Tell your lawyer about every doctor you see. This is very important information for your lawyer, and if you don’t inform them, you may miss out on recovering for those specific medical bills.
