You do not need every record or perfect details to start an injury estimate. A short description can produce a first cautious range, and additional information can make that range more useful if you have it.
Start with where and when it happened
The estimate flow works best when it knows the incident state, approximate date, and general location. A city, county, business type, intersection, or property description can help organize the intake.
If you do not know the exact date or county, start with your best description. You can correct details later before choosing whether to share the case.
Describe what caused the injury
Explain the event in plain language. For example, a crash, fall, dog bite, unsafe property condition, negligent security incident, or other injury event may involve different estimate factors.
It also helps to mention whether anyone admitted fault, received a citation, created a hazard, ignored a problem, or disputes what happened.
List the injuries and symptoms
Include what hurts, what was diagnosed, whether symptoms are getting better or worse, and whether the injury affects work, school, driving, sleep, walking, lifting, or daily activities.
Add treatment details if you have them
Useful treatment facts can include emergency room care, urgent care, dental care, imaging, specialist visits, therapy, injections, surgery, prescriptions, follow-up appointments, or future care that has been recommended.
Do not wait to start just because treatment is ongoing. An early estimate can be cautious and then change as more treatment information becomes available.
Mention bills, missed work, and practical losses
Known medical bills, out-of-pocket costs, missed work, reduced hours, or limits on normal activities can all help the estimate. If you do not know the totals, rough information is still useful.
Evidence can make the facts clearer
Reports, photos, video, witness names, store or incident reports, police reports, messages, receipts, and medical records can help support the timeline. You do not need to upload documents to get started, but knowing whether they exist can help the estimate.
Insurance and claim status can matter
If you know whether an insurance claim exists, whether an adjuster contacted you, or whether there may be uninsured motorist, commercial, or property-owner coverage, that can help. If you already have an attorney for the same matter, say so because the site should not route represented claimants as new leads.
Use what you know
Start with a short paragraph.
Describe the incident, injuries, and treatment in your own words. You can answer more questions after the first estimate if you want a more accurate range.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get an estimate if I only know part of the story?
Yes. Start with what you know. The estimate may be more cautious, and the site may offer guided questions or optional details that can improve accuracy.
Do I need medical bills before starting?
No. Bills can help, but they are not required for the first estimate. Treatment type, injury severity, and whether care is ongoing can still provide useful starting facts.
Will the sponsor firm receive this information right away?
No. You see the estimate first. Information is shared with the sponsor firm's attorney only if you choose to share after the estimate and submit the contact and authorization form.
