In order to help your solicitor quantify your claim, you should keep evidence of any out of pocket expenses or loss of earnings you have incurred such as:

• Travel expenses to and from medical appointments.
• Evidence of past and current payslips to prove loss of earnings. For those who are employed, your solicitor will ask you to provide copies of payslips dated 3 months before the negligent treatment took place and for the current period. For people who are self-employed, your solicitor will ask for evidence in the form of the last 2-3 years tax returns.
• Invoices and receipts from private treatment and therapy – such as counselling, psychotherapy and physiotherapy.
• Invoices and receipts from equipment or mobility aids that you have needed to buy to help you in the home or to get out in public. Such as grab rails, walking sticks or a wheelchair.
