What Are Important Things For Me To Do In Order To Document My Claim?

  • Document every single detail of the accident while it is still fresh in your memory.
  • Get pictures of anything you think may be of importance.
  • Get as much information as possible on the person/company that is at fault – address, phone, insurance policy, driver’s license, etc.
  • Get names and contact information for all witnesses.
  • Keep track of all medical providers you have seen for the injury. Keep all medical records and bills you receive.
  • If someone passed away, obtain the death certificate.
