Good documentation is the backbone of a strong claim. Gathering the right materials early makes your case more efficient and more valuable.
Accident and Insurance Records
Collect the police or incident report, photos and video of the scene and injuries, the other party's insurance and contact information, and any correspondence from insurers. These establish what happened and who's involved.
Witness names and contact details are valuable too.
Medical and Financial Records
Keep all medical records, bills, and proof of out-of-pocket costs. Document lost wages with pay stubs or employer letters, and note how your injuries affect your daily life and work.
Staying Organized
A simple folder or file — physical or digital — keeps everything in one place. The more complete your records, the easier it is for your attorney to build the claim and prove its full value. Don't worry if you're missing items; a lawyer can help obtain them.
