It is key to remember that although you intimately understand how your work accident affected your life and your health, the people who will be examining your claim don’t know about anything that you went through. They can only experience the pain of your injuries, the financial burden of your treatments, and the extent of your medical journey if you provide them hard evidence like the documents listed above.
