Your core checklist
- Police / accident report.
- Medical records and itemized bills (including ongoing treatment).
- Photos and video of the scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries.
- Contact details for any witnesses.
- Proof of lost wages — pay stubs or a letter from your employer.
- Repair estimates or the total-loss value of your vehicle.
- All correspondence with the insurance company.
Why documentation makes or breaks a claim
Insurers value — or discount — your claim based on what you can prove. Gaps in documentation are exactly what adjusters use to justify a lowball offer. Consistent medical treatment and a clear paper trail are what support the full value of your injuries, including pain and suffering.
