Accident claim documents checklist
The documents that prove what happened, what it cost you and how it changed your life. Tick them off as you collect them.
Gather the police report, photos, witness details, every medical record, proof of lost pay and expenses, all insurer letters and a short diary of how the injury affects you. Keep copies, note where each original is, and send any preservation letters early.
Ticks and notes save on this device only. Nothing is sent to us.

Why each record matters
Insurers pay for what you can prove. Records made at the time, such as medical notes and photos, carry more weight than memories months later. Keep originals safe, send copies, and write down when you sent what to whom. If video or vehicle data might be lost, use our preservation letter template now rather than later.
Check your deadline in the statute of limitations table, and track costs in the expense tracker.
