Atlanta Car Accident Document Guide
Organize the report, treatment records and costs from an Atlanta car accident so that important details are easy to find.
Build your accident file
Start with an incident summary
Write the date, time and exact location. Include the street, intersection or highway exit and direction of travel. Separate what you observed from what others told you.
Add the crash report
Save the report number and responding agency. Request a copy through that agency and note any factual errors you want to ask about.
Store scene evidence
Keep original photos, videos and witness details. Back up files without changing the originals. Note when and where each file was recorded.
Group medical documents by provider
File visit summaries, imaging reports, treatment plans and bills together. Keep a list of appointment dates and follow-up instructions.
Separate vehicle expenses
Keep repair estimates, valuation documents, towing invoices and rental receipts. Save related emails so estimates and approvals stay together.
Record lost income
Collect pay records and employer confirmation of missed time. If you work for yourself, keep records that show canceled jobs and the income affected.
Track claim communications
Create a dated log of insurer calls, letters and document requests. Record any response dates stated in the correspondence and keep proof of delivery.
