Injury record checklist

After a car accident, organize injury details before they get scattered.

Pain, treatment, bills, missed work, and follow-up appointments can become hard to reconstruct later. Use this checklist to keep medical-related records together and request a free review if you were injured.

Simple injury documentation steps

  1. Write down the symptom timeline. Note when pain, stiffness, headaches, numbness, anxiety, sleep disruption, or other symptoms began and whether they changed over time.
  2. Keep visit paperwork in one folder. Save discharge summaries, referrals, imaging orders, therapy plans, prescriptions, and appointment cards.
  3. Track costs and interruptions. Include bills, copays, transportation, missed work, cancelled activities, childcare, and follow-up appointment time.
  4. Do not guess about future treatment. If you do not know whether symptoms are temporary, worsening, or related to the crash, write down what you know and discuss medical questions with a provider.
  5. Connect records to crash details. Keep claim numbers, police report numbers, photos, repair/tow records, and insurance letters with your treatment timeline.
  6. Request a free review if you were injured. Accident Review Center can help organize an intake request and may route qualifying situations for follow-up after review.

Do not rely on memory alone

Even small details can be forgotten after multiple calls, appointments, repair estimates, or claim letters. A short dated note is better than trying to recreate everything later.

What not to claim here

  • That a symptom proves fault or claim value
  • That Accident Review Center gives medical advice
  • That a review guarantees payment or representation
  • That every injury will qualify
