You know to keep copies of your medical records, but do you know what other kind of papers may be important if you’ve been hurt in a New York construction accident? Do you know what kinds of receipts may be helpful if you file a workers’ compensation claim or if you file a personal injury lawsuit?
Five Records You Will Want to Keep
From the time that you are injured, you are going to want to start keeping good records of your expenses, and you are going to want to share those records with your New York construction accident attorney. The better your documentation, the more likely you are to make a financial recovery. Accordingly, the New York City Bar recommendations that you keep copies of:
- Your medical records.
- Your medical bills.
- Your mileage to and from doctors’ appointments and therapist appointments.
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as medications and medical equipment.
- Your earnings. This is particularly important if you go back to work part time or in a different capacity and you are not earning the same amount as you were earning prior to your accident.
Other specific documentation may also be important in your case.
