Keep important documents
Keep important documents for a strong personal injury case, because as a victim, the burden of proof rests on your shoulders. Without the proper documents, you run the risk of not being compensated for your damages. At Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam, we support you in gathering and organizing evidence to build a strong case.
Why is document retention important?
In a personal injury case, the rule is: no evidence, no compensation. It is therefore essential to:
- Support the claim: Medical reports, invoices and other documents are needed to support your claim.
- Prove liability: Police reports, witness statements and correspondence with the opposing party help determine the question of fault.
- Prevent misunderstandings: A well-documented case provides clarity and prevents discussion with insurers.
What documents should you keep?
Be sure to securely store the following documents:
- Medical records: reports of treatments, diagnoses and surgery reports.
- Invoices and receipts: Medical expenses, travel, lodging and other related expenses.
- Correspondence: emails, letters and interview notes with insurers or involved parties.
- Witness statements and police reports: Important evidence supporting the question of guilt.
How do you store documents properly?
- Use a physical folder and digital storage: Keep everything in a safe place and make digital copies.
- Organize your emails: Store important correspondence in separate folders on your computer.
- Inform a trusted person: Let someone know where the documents can be found in case of an emergency.
