What the page should help you decide
Core folders: policy and accident, application, treatment, income, care, examinations, decisions, correspondence and LAT.2
Keep originals untouched and use working copies for notes or highlighting.
Keep the legal question, insurance route and next practical step distinct.
Legal question
The medical record explains care; an OCF form makes a particular insurance request.
Coverage or process
An insurer examination is evidence, not the final legal answer.
Practical step
A LAT file should contain the decision, dispute issue and proof relied on by each side.
Build the answer from records another person can check.
Accident, insurer and policy documents.
Clinical notes, plans and invoices.
Function, income and care records.
Forms, delivery proof, denials, examinations and orders.
Protect the next real date.
Index decisions as soon as they arrive so dispute dates remain visible.3
Back up the file and preserve metadata where authenticity may matter.
How a personal injury lawyer may help with accident benefits.
A useful review should reduce the file to a defined benefit, disputed period, governing test and evidence problem—then explain the available response in plain language.
- Use consistent filenames
- Build one master index
- Keep originals clean
- Pair decisions with requests
Not every file requires every step or legal representation. The work should respond to the actual dispute, evidence gap or decision that is approaching.
