Organise your evidence and identify which documents are still missing for a further assessment.

Details decide a damages claim: cause, evidence, each head of loss and the applicable deadline. We put these levels into a clear order and represent your interests in negotiations and in court.
In a damages matter, the loss itself is not the only issue. It is often important to show the event, its cause, the amount of the loss and the consequences in a clear and traceable way.
Answer the questions based on what you know today. The result places your documentation in one of three levels and suggests practical next steps.
This interactive check does not calculate the amount of your claim. It shows how reliable your documentation currently is and which documents you should collect next.
Arrange the documents chronologically and separate event, cause, loss and consequential costs. Then check whether each important figure is linked to supporting evidence.
A legal assessment can now focus on the remaining issues.

Secure the current condition first with dated photos, a short chronology, preserved originals and a note about expected changes. If evidence may be lost, promptly assess which form of evidence preservation is suitable.
Documentation should not delay necessary medical or technical measures.

Documentation should not delay necessary medical or technical measures.
Collect the documents in chronological order. Keep separate notes for each open question: what happened, what caused the loss, how large it is and which consequences continue.
Not always. A clear chronology, meaningful documents and traceable records are often enough for an initial assessment. Whether an expert report is needed depends on the type of loss and the disputed issue.
Secure the condition and take necessary loss-reduction measures. Record why each measure was necessary and which costs resulted.
They can support an assessment. Preserve original files and their timeline, and do not alter the files afterwards.
