Claim kit: what to keep

By Cal Rivers · Last checked Nov 9, 2026

It's easier to keep track when your records sit in one place. Tick each item once you have it. Press Show what's missing to get a printable list.

Don't type claim or policy numbers here. This tool doesn't ask for them.

What the list shows

• Under Gathered ✓: each ticked item.
• Under Still to get ✗: each unticked item, with one plain tip. Example: "A log of every call: start one today. Write the date, time and name each time you talk to the company."
• If every box is ticked: "Everything on this list is gathered. Keep it together in one folder."

Please note

This list is general education. It isn't legal advice, and it doesn't replace what your policy or insurer asks for. Ask your company what it needs from you. Read the claim basics.
