Keep the crash proof and the recovery proof connected
A damaged bike can explain why you could not use that bike. It does not, by itself, establish why you could not work. Likewise, a medical bill shows a charge but may not explain the collision. Keep crash records, medical records and work records together. Be clear about what each can show.
Write down the tasks your injury affected and the dates of any changes. Save actual work restrictions, missed shifts and wage records. If you used a different form of transport, retain receipts and explain the reason. These records help a lawyer review your losses. They do not mean the law allows payment for every inconvenience or expense.
