Documenting an injury and its impact

An injury’s name alone does not determine a claim’s value. The circumstances, medical evidence, connection to the event, and effect on the person’s life all matter.

Keep a clear treatment record

Record providers, appointments, bills, and follow-up recommendations. Medical records help establish the course of care and any documented limitations. Do not substitute online information for medical advice.

Include work and everyday changes

Keep evidence of missed work and related expenses. Specific, accurate descriptions of how daily activities changed can help explain losses that are not reflected in an initial bill.

Incident reports and photographs; Medical records, bills, and appointment details; Names and contact details of witnesses; Insurance information and correspondence. These records can help explain your situation. Start with what you have, and ask the firm which additional information may be useful.
