Detroit Accident Attorneys Answer Your Legal Questions

Q: What records should I keep?

A: Be sure to keep the following records for your claim:

• Lost work time and wages.
• Expenses resulting from your injuries, including home care, prescription costs and transportation costs
• All medical bills regarding your claim
• A running list of physical limitations you are experiencing and activities you can no longer participate in but could before the accident.

It is important to make your entries on an ongoing basis. Copies of checks and receipts of payment, as well as the above records, will be helpful when you may be asked by the insurance company or an attorney to recall your pain, physical disabilities and limitations, and any out-of-pocket expenses, such as medication and medical co-pays.
