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.
