Tips to maximize your recovery after an Ohio motorcycle accident Part 6

Start a file to document everything connected to your case.

Make sure you keep every bill, police report, and document connected to your motorcycle accident claim. The insurance company has a right to see evidence of medical bills for which you're seeking reimbursement. Keeping track of your bills also ensures that you won't settle your claim without making sure you've been compensated for all of your expenditures. This is true even if you have health insurance because you may have to repay your provider for any bills they've paid on your behalf if there's a settlement.

In addition to documenting your treatment, keep track of any wages you've lost because you've been unable to work. Don't assume you'll automatically get reimbursed for your lost wages. You have to get a note from your doctor if you miss work because of the injuries from the accident and you'll have to get documentation from your employer about your rate of pay and how much money you lost because you weren't able to work.
