Accident Consultation Dossier & Timeline

Assemble a chronological record of collisions, medical evaluations, work absence, and out-of-pocket expenses. Sanitize sensitive photos and generate a clean briefing document before meeting with licensed counsel.

California Tort Guideline Reference Incident Date: calculating...
General bodily injury tort limit is 2 yrs (CCP § 335.1). Public transit/government claims require notice within 6 mos (Gov Code § 911.2). Always verify exact dates with an attorney.

Guidance for Traffic Incident Consultations

The 2-Year Tort Clock

Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 (and similar rules in many states), personal injury lawsuits for motor vehicle accidents must generally be filed within two years of the incident date. Missing this deadline forfeits claims forever, regardless of injury severity.

The 6-Month Government Trap

If the collision involved a municipal bus, city vehicle, California Highway Patrol car, or dangerous road condition created by Caltrans or a city public works agency, an administrative claim must generally be filed within 6 months (Gov Code § 911.2).

Mitigation of Damages

Injured individuals have a legal duty to seek prompt, reasonable medical evaluation. Gaps in medical treatment or delayed follow-ups are heavily leveraged by defense insurance adjusters to argue injuries were pre-existing or minor.

What questions should I ask during an initial legal consultation?

1. How is your contingency fee structured, and what percentage is charged if the matter settles before versus after formal litigation filing?
2. Who pays for case costs (expert depositions, medical record retrieval fees, accident reconstruction) if there is no recovery?
3. How do you handle medical liens and health insurance subrogation claims against the final settlement?
4. What is the realistic timeline for negotiating with policy carriers versus filing a complaint in Superior Court?

Dossier bookkeeping and canvas-coordinate mapping

Read the explanation

The dossier sums costs from its saved event records. The five costs are zero, two thousand eight hundred forty, four hundred twenty, three thousand six hundred forty and eleven hundred fifty. Their total is eight thousand fifty. The four positive segments share point zero four pixels per currency unit, so their combined length is three hundred twenty two pixels. The care count separately counts records labeled medical or therapy, giving two of the five entries regardless of document status. These are entered values and category strings. They are not verified invoices, diagnoses, recoverable damages or proof of fault. Chronology sorts the stored dates, while cost totals simply add the values. The displayed time counter subtracts the stored incident date from the current date and floors the difference in milliseconds divided by eighty six million four hundred thousand. It then subtracts those elapsed days from a fixed seven hundred thirty day constant. In a harmless arithmetic example, one hundred elapsed days leaves six hundred thirty source timer days. Our bar uses half a pixel per day: fifty pixels elapsed plus three hundred fifteen remaining. This is a fixed source timer assumption, not a verified jurisdiction specific filing deadline or legal advice. It does not resolve exceptions, calendar-aware leap years, notice rules or the facts of a real claim. Treat the labels as application output that requires independent professional interpretation. The canvas maps pointer coordinates from displayed CSS dimensions into drawing-buffer dimensions. For an illustrative eight hundred by four hundred fifty buffer shown at four hundred by two hundred twenty five CSS pixels, both scale ratios are two. A pointer one hundred pixels right and fifty down from the displayed canvas origin therefore maps to buffer coordinates two hundred and one hundred. The two diagrams use the same point five display scale for their coordinate systems. Opaque rectangles cover selected pixels, and the export produces a new image blob. That does not prove all sensitive content or metadata has been identified. Verify actual native drawing and image exports separately; the source records and case narrative remain unverified.
