Tracker · while you treat

Out of pocket expense tracker The costs you will forget to claim.

Economic damages are the verifiable losses, and a receipt is the verification. Add each expense as it happens; a photo of the receipt in your phone counts. The total becomes a line in the demand, and none of it is recovered if nobody wrote it down. Start with the list of what people forget.

Nine costs people forget to claim

  • Rides to appointments: Uber, Lyft, taxi, and parkingEvery trip to physical therapy, imaging, and the pharmacy. Keep the app receipts.
  • Mileage in your own carDate, destination, and miles for every medical trip. A note in your phone is enough.
  • Prescriptions and copaysPharmacy printouts list everything by date, on request.
  • Braces, ice packs, pain relievers, a wedge pillowThe drugstore receipt is the proof.
  • Help you had to pay for: cleaning, lawn care, childcare, a dog walkerWork you did yourself before the crash and could not do after. Household services are their own category of damages under the California jury instructions.
  • Meal delivery while you could not cook or shopReasonable, documented, and tied to the injury.
  • Property damaged in the crash: phone, glasses, laptop, the child's car seatCar seat makers generally require replacement after a crash, and NHTSA says to replace one after any moderate or severe crash. Photograph the damage and keep the replacement receipt.
