What happens when a cyclist and a driver remember the same crash differently? In Charlotte, that question can become important when an insurance company begins reviewing a bicycle injury claim and comparing statements from the people involved with photographs, medical records, witness accounts, and other evidence.

An organized consultation file can help identify questions and missing records, but it does not establish responsibility, coverage, injury, or the value of a claim.
Start with an event timeline

Why the Timeline Matters […]
