Keep Track of Your Receipts Following a Colorado Car Accident

One of the things you can do to help your case as a client of The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya is to keep careful track of your spending, receipts and other documentation. Even though it may seem like a trivial expense at the time you incur it, all the expenses add up – and you’re entitled to reimbursement for all your expenses. Keeping track of your expenses and receipts will help your Denver auto accident attorney prepare your case and document your costs.

Start with an expandable accordion-style folder that you can find at an office supply store. Label the individual pockets for the various kinds of receipts you’ll start collecting. In each pocket, keep doctor bills, the explanation of benefits (EOB) forms from your health insurer, medicines and drugs (including over-the-counter medicines such as ibuprofen), supplies and other receipts. Make sure each receipt has the date, place or provider, the amount and a brief note of what the expense was for. Don’t forget mileage, either. If you’ve been injured in a Denver car accident and you need to drive your car somewhere for something related to your injury – the doctor’s office, physical therapy visits and so on – note the date, where you drove and why, and the number of miles you drove.

Also, when you have to pay for something, it’s best to pay with a credit card, debit card or check, and keep your receipts. You’ll have a record of the expense when you get your credit card bill or bank statement. If you must use cash, make sure you get a receipt for the expense and note what it was for.
