What to have ready

Gather what you can. Start anyway.

This is a list of things that help, with a plain reason for each one. You do not need any of it to start a case check. Check off what you have, and leave the rest for later.

Start my case check Go to the checklist

Starting a case check does not mean we represent you.

A notebook, a phone, car keys, and glasses laid out on a dark slate surface

Missing items never block a case check. We flag what is missing and ask you a short question about it later.

The checklist

Read it here, or open the checklist tool if you would rather tick things off and print the result. Either way it is just for you.

This list

29 items

Having none of them is a fine place to start.

Photos and video

Even blurry ones help.

Photos of the place it happenedShows what the spot looked like before anyone cleaned or fixed it.
Photos of your injuries over timeBruises fade. A photo from week one says more than a memory.
Photos of the cars, the floor, or the machineDamage and conditions are easier to explain with a picture.
Video from a phone, a doorbell, or a dash cameraVideo gets erased on a schedule, so it helps to name the source early.

The report

A number is enough. You do not need the whole file.

Police report or incident numberIt lets the right copy be pulled from the agency that wrote it.
The store or building incident reportMany places write one after a fall. Ask for a copy if you can.
Workers comp claim numberShows when the job was told and what was opened.
The name of the officer or the agencyHelpful when the report number is lost or never given to you.

People who saw it

First names and a phone number are plenty.

Names and numbers of witnessesPeople move and change numbers. Early contact info is worth a lot.
The worker or manager who helped youThey often know whether a report was written that day.
Who was in the car or on the job with youThey can fill in the parts you do not remember.
Anyone who stopped to help youPeople who stopped often remember more than you do.
Who you called or texted right afterYour phone shows who you told first and when.

Doctors, records, and bills

A list of places is fine. You do not need the records themselves.

The ER or urgent care you went toThe first visit lines up what hurt with when it started.
The doctor or clinic treating you nowShows the care is ongoing and who to ask for updates.
Bills and statements that came in the mailAdds up what the injury has cost you so far.
Medicines you were given or told to takeNames of medicines help explain your treatment quickly.
Therapy, imaging, or a referral to another doctorThese show what came after the first visit.

Insurance letters

Keep the envelope if the letter has no date on it.

Any letter from an insurance companyLetters show what has been said and what they are asking for.
The claim numberIt is the fastest way to find the file they already opened.
Any offer, check, or denial you gotAn offer or a denial changes what questions we ask next.
The name and number of the adjuster who calledTells us who has been contacting you and from where.

Work and money

Rough numbers are fine to start.

Pay stubs from before and afterShows the change in your pay in plain numbers.
Days of work you missedEven an estimate written on paper helps.
A note from your job about light dutyShows what you were allowed to do after the injury.
Lost overtime, tips, or side workThese are easy to forget and hard to prove later.

Anything you said or signed

Tell us even if you are not sure what it was.

A recorded statement you gaveThe attorney needs to know it exists and roughly what you said.
Anything you signed, even if you are unsureSome papers release a claim. It matters that someone reads them.
Texts, emails, or app messages with the other sideScreenshots keep what a phone call leaves no record of.

Missing something? It does not block anything.

You can start with a phone and whatever you remember. Paperwork can help, but nothing on this list is required before you begin.

We flag it, then ask you: Gaps get one short follow-up question in the language you picked.
Text things over when you find them: Photos and papers can be texted over weeks later. You do not have to have them on the first call.
Your copies stay yours: We keep what you send unchanged, and we can send you a copy at any time.
Do not edit or crop photos: Send them as they came off the phone. That keeps the date and place attached.

Keep the checklist on hand

The evidence checklist opens in your browser. Tick things off there as you find them at home. It stays on your device and nothing is sent.

You can also just start. We ask about these items one at a time when it fits your case.

If you would rather read first

You can start with nothing

Start with what you remember today. Text the rest over when you find it. A long case can take more than one call, so nothing is wasted.
