A:Make sure you have a list with the names and addresses of all places from which you lost wages. If you are self-employed, try to obtain records that can provide an accurate indication of the amount of wages you would reasonably expect to accrue during the time period in which you were unable to work. If you work for an employer, keep an accurate record of all days lost from work because of your injuries. Make sure your doctors give you work excuses for days missed due to your injury.
