Not Documenting Everything Properly

Written By Alexander Burton

The Taxi Ride That Cost a Fortune

"I don’t need photos," Sam thought after his accident.

Later, when the insurance company asked for proof, he had none. His claim was denied.

The Technicalities: Why Documentation Is Crucial

Evidence is key in personal injury cases. In Stegenga v. Economical Mutual Insurance Co., 2019 ONCA 615, lack of documentation weakened the plaintiff’s case.

How to Overcome This Mistake

  • Take photos, collect witness statements, and keep medical reports.

  • Save all correspondence with insurance companies.
