Texas Injury Medical Documentation Checklist
Organize the records that explain the injury, treatment, recovery, work impact, expenses, and recommended future care. Your checkmarks remain only while this page is open; no selections or medical information are transmitted.
Records from a commercial-vehicle collision can be applied in the Texas commercial-truck accident settlement calculator. If impairment was suspected, use the Texas DWI accident settlement calculator.

Build a complete provider chronology
Create a factual timeline; do not guess about dates, diagnoses, or what a provider said.
Collect records, bills, and imaging
A billing statement and a clinical record serve different purposes; preserve both.
Document diagnoses and objective findings
Use the provider’s words and records rather than assigning yourself a diagnosis.
Track symptoms and functional changes
Contemporaneous, specific observations are more useful than exaggerated or reconstructed descriptions.
Address prior conditions and causation accurately
A prior condition does not automatically defeat a claim, but incomplete history can damage credibility.
Document employment and income effects
Use employer and financial records that can be independently verified.
Identify future-care and permanent-effect evidence
Future losses require support; a possibility mentioned in conversation is not necessarily a medical recommendation.
Maintain a secure claim-document file
Medical and financial documents contain sensitive information.
