When you’re focused on recovery, it’s easy for key details to slip—package photos disappear from phones, purchase receipts are lost, and clinicians may change the way they summarize your medical timeline.
A practical early move is to build a “case-ready” record while information is still fresh:
- Medical records you should request now (pathology reports, imaging summaries, treatment summaries)
- A product-use timeline (brands you remember, approximate years of use, who used the products)
- Any proof of purchase or possession (labels, photos, household accounts, retailer history)
- A plain-language exposure statement you can update as you learn more
This isn’t about filling out paperwork for paperwork’s sake—it’s about giving your lawyer what they need to evaluate causation and liability using evidence that holds up in Texas.
