Match records to the event type

The event record should match the alleged mechanism. For a vehicle event, identify available crash-report and crash-data starting points through the Texas Department of Transportation, without assuming that TxDOT investigated or controls a particular scene. For a boating event, preserve records relevant to the subject of Texas boating accident duties and reports. For a machine or product event, preserve the equipment or product, photographs, warnings, instructions, maintenance material, purchase information, and operating records when available.

• Photograph the scene, equipment, controls, guards, components, and visible damage when safe.
• Preserve names and contact information for witnesses and responding personnel.
• Do not repair, discard, alter, or overwrite relevant equipment, video, electronic data, or logs before seeking appropriate guidance.
• Keep employer reports and available workplace records for an injured-worker event.

Protect original information

A preserved object or digital record can help establish what was present and what changed after the incident. The record should distinguish firsthand observations from later recollections and should identify when photographs, messages, video, inspections, or maintenance entries were created.

Organize treatment records

Organize the medical chronology from emergency treatment through surgery, wound care, revision procedures, rehabilitation, pain-related care, prosthetic evaluation, fitting, training, adjustment, repair, and replacement. Keep appointment dates, treatment goals, restrictions, observed function, assistive devices, and changes in mobility together so the progression is understandable.

• Create a dated list of emergency care, surgery, revision, rehabilitation, and prosthetic appointments.
• Keep prescriptions, therapy instructions, equipment orders, invoices, and payment records.
• Note changes in walking, transfers, balance, endurance, self-care, transportation, and access needs.
• Retain photographs or measurements that document healing, equipment fit, or home modifications when appropriate.

Track function over time

Separate medical observations from personal descriptions of daily impact. A short dated journal can record tasks that became difficult, assistance received, missed activities, transportation needs, work changes, and household changes. Consistent entries can help connect treatment milestones to functional change without replacing clinical records.

A practical file structure

Begin with a dated event summary and a preservation list. Gather the names of responders, witnesses, providers, employers, equipment owners, and insurers; identify where physical evidence and digital records are located; and keep copies of all requests and responses. Do not discard original records or equipment merely because a replacement has been provided.

• Write a concise chronology while memories and documents are fresh.
• Create folders for event evidence, medical care, prosthetics, work, household impact, and accessibility.
• Keep a calendar of appointments, restrictions, therapy, fittings, repairs, and equipment changes.
• Bring the organized chronology and source list to a claim-specific legal consultation.
