When you’re out on workers’ comp, it’s important to maintain clear and organized records. You should keep copies of any earnings you receive while you’re unable to work, as well as documentation of the workers’ comp payments you receive. These records help your lawyer review your financial status throughout the case. You should also save every out-of-work note your doctor provides—your attorney may request the most recent note at any time. Staying organized with these records protects your claim and ensures your case runs smoothly. Our workman’s compensation attorneys can help you understand which documents matter most. You can also review our RI workers’ comp benefits for broader guidance on proper documentation. It may also help to explore related topics like what information belongs in a medical report or understanding your report of earnings form.
