Documenting the injury

Why keeping a clear record of dates, symptoms, and care matters — for recovery and for any claim.

A simple record — dates, symptoms, appointments, who you spoke to, receipts — helps your child’s care team, helps the school understand what’s needed, and helps if you ever need to make a claim.

Your phone is fine. A note app, a folder for photos and PDFs. You don’t need perfect records; you just need a start.
