This page provides general information, not legal advice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lb-answer\"><strong>Short answer:<\/strong> Lost-income questions after a New Mexico crash need records that show what your work looked like before the collision, what changed afterward, and how the change connects to the dates in your medical and work documents. A broad estimate of missed work is harder to review than a dated file of ordinary pay, schedules, restrictions, and business records.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_one_dated_work-and-income_timeline\"><\/span>Build one dated work-and-income timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start with a calendar. Mark the crash date, scheduled shifts, days missed, medical appointments, work restrictions, return-to-work dates, reduced hours, and changes in duties. Add the document that supports each entry: a schedule, pay stub, time record, invoice, email, or medical instruction. The calendar is an index. The original records remain the proof of what each entry means.<\/p>\n<p>Do not wait for a perfect calculation before saving records. Pay periods close, schedules change, and business platforms update. Saving the original documents early gives you a better record of the work pattern before and after the crash.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Records_for_hourly_and_salaried_employees\"><\/span>Records for hourly and salaried employees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An hourly employee may have timecards, shift schedules, pay stubs, overtime records, leave balances, and messages about missed shifts. A salaried employee may need a different mix of records: paid leave used, reduced duties, missed commission opportunities, bonus information, or an employer note that identifies the change in work. Ask the employer for records that describe the job and pay structure, not a vague statement that you missed time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recent pay stubs from before and after the crash.<\/li>\n<li>Timekeeping, schedules, approved leave, and overtime records.<\/li>\n<li>An employer contact who can confirm the position, rate of pay, dates missed, and any work limitation the employer received.<\/li>\n<li>Medical work restrictions kept next to the dates and pay records they relate to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Self-employed_contract_and_gig_work_needs_a_fuller_record\"><\/span>Self-employed, contract, and gig work needs a fuller record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Income for a business owner, contractor, or platform worker can change from week to week. Keep the records that show the ordinary pattern as well as the interruption: invoices, contracts, appointment calendars, work orders, deposits, platform statements, accounting reports, business bank records, and tax filings. The Internal Revenue Service notes that supporting business documents can include invoices, receipts, deposit records, and canceled checks or other proof of payment.<\/p>\n<p>Preserve the original file and export platform records before an account view changes. A spreadsheet can help you organize dates, but it should point back to a source document instead of replacing one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_medical_and_work_records_connected\"><\/span>Keep medical and work records connected<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A pay record shows a work pattern. A medical document can show an appointment, instruction, or restriction. Neither document should be treated as a complete answer by itself. Put the dates next to each other so a reviewer can see what changed and when. Do not add a medical conclusion to an employer document or ask an employer to describe a medical issue beyond what it knows.<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico&#8217;s general damages instruction emphasizes evidence rather than speculation. That does not create an automatic result in a particular matter. It is a practical reason to preserve original documents and make the timeline easy to check.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_the_originals_and_explain_gaps\"><\/span>Keep the originals and explain gaps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some workers do not have one regular schedule or one steady source of income. If a gap exists, label it instead of filling it with a guess. Save the calendar, messages, canceled appointments, and business records that explain why the period looks different. An honest file that identifies a missing document is easier to review than a neat summary that cannot be traced.<\/p>\n<section class=\"lb-search-authority-cta\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_to_organize_work_and_income_records_after_a_crash\"><\/span>Need to organize work and income records after a crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A private case review can help you sort the timeline, original records, and questions that may need individual attention.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lb-actions\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elgringolaw.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">Request a free case review<\/a><a class=\"lb-secondary\" href=\"tel:+15052075000\">Call (505) 207-5000<\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<aside class=\"lb-search-authority-sources\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources_checked\"><\/span>Sources checked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/what-kind-of-records-should-i-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internal Revenue Service, what business records to keep<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/supremecourt.nmcourts.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/UJI-13-1802-NMRA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Mexico Supreme Court UJI 13-1802 damages instruction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osi.state.nm.us\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-april-insurance-tip-of-the-month-auto-insurance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance auto-insurance guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_pay_stub_help_document_lost_income_after_a_New_Mexico_car_accident\"><\/span>Can a pay stub help document lost income after a New Mexico car accident?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A pay stub can show an ordinary pay pattern.
