After an accident, organized information makes every conversation easier, whether with a doctor, an insurer or an attorney.
Start with the police or incident report number and any information you exchanged at the scene: names, phone numbers, insurance policies and plate numbers.
Save photos and videos of the scene, the vehicles, visible injuries and any conditions that may have contributed, such as a wet floor or poor lighting.
Keep medical records, appointment summaries, prescriptions and bills. Write down the names of the clinics and doctors you visited.
If you missed work, keep pay stubs or a letter from your employer showing the days missed.
Keep copies of letters, emails or messages from insurance companies, and write down the date and name of anyone you speak with.
