Financial Expenditures – Keep a Diary.

Car repair estimates and bills.
Of course you want to keep track of these. If your insurance company gives you an estimate that you think is too low, get a second opinion. Go to a trusted, certified mechanic for another estimate. Keep all paperwork from all estimates and repairs.

Out of pocket payments
Keep track of all out-of-pocket payments for eveything you need to spend money on as a result of your accident. First aid supplies, heating pads, crutches or medicine, taxis or buses, child-care, pre-paid events cancelled - everything you need to pay for as a result of the accident.

• Be sure to keep track of ALL your medical expenses. All office visits, prescriptions, lab services, medications, therapy, hospital visits and treatments, medical receipts, documents and x-rays. Keep a log of your dates of visits, reason for seeing the medical provider, and the amount charged.
• Keep track of lost work time. Keep a log of time taken off from work because of the accident, or treatment, or inability to perform your work duties as a result of your injuries. Also have a letter from your employer confirming lost time and/or pay.
• Similarly, keep track of lost school time or the inability to carry out assignments because of the accident.
• Take photographs of your injuries on a regular basis, and note the date on each photo.
• Make sure you have written statements from witnesses as soon as possible.
