Depending on the incident, useful records may include police or incident reports, the death certificate, medical and autopsy records, photographs, video, employment documents, insurance policies, and funeral invoices.

Any fault assigned to the person who died may reduce or bar recovery depending on the allocation. The evidence should be reviewed before accepting an insurer’s position.
