Insurance Claim Photo Planner
Choose the event type to create a focused shot list. The planner starts with safety, then requests wide context, close detail, identifying information and before-and-after mitigation views without encouraging unsafe access.
Private working space: entries stay in this page. Do not enter passwords, complete account numbers, identity numbers or confidential documents.
Choose the event you can safely document
The shot list covers context, detail, identification and mitigation. Never enter a hazard to complete it.
How to use this tool responsibly
Context and detail answer different questions
A wide image shows where damage sits in the scene. A close image shows condition and identifying detail. Keeping both makes the file easier to understand than a folder of isolated close-ups.
Safety limits the shot list
Do not enter a restricted building, stand in traffic, climb a damaged roof or approach an active hazard for a picture. Authority, contractor or professional records can document places you cannot safely reach.
Original files preserve continuity
Keep original images with their timestamps and make annotated copies separately. Use stable filenames that connect a photo to the room, vehicle area or inventory line it supports.
Questions about this working tool
How many photos should I take?
Take enough to establish context and condition without creating repetitive files. The right number depends on the event.
Should I clean before taking photos?
Address danger and necessary mitigation first. When safe, capture the condition before cleanup changes it.
