In San Bernardino County, start by identifying the exact product, model, seller and location of use. Record where each document came from and distinguish observations from unanswered questions.

For this San Bernardino County review, identify the exact product, model, seller and location of use. Record the address, date, people involved and which organization holds each report or recording. Do not assume a nearby landmark, hospital or business was involved.
List the providers who actually treated the person, the first reported symptoms, later changes, appointments and any existing restrictions. Preserve dates and source documents; avoid treating a general injury pattern as a diagnosis or a finding about causation.
Save incident numbers, insurance correspondence, record requests and responses with their dates. Distinguish a record you already have from one that was requested, withheld or never created. Access to medical, employment and facility records may require authorization.
