Targeted Questions for Your Initial Legal Consultation
Attorneys appreciate clear records. Bring these questions to your free initial case review:
Consultation Preparation Best Practices
When consulting with a licensed personal injury or auto accident attorney, having structured records saves hours of confusion and gives counsel an immediate understanding of liability, damages, and insurance limits.
Why is a strict chronology timeline crucial?
Insurance claims adjusters look for "gaps in treatment"—such as waiting two weeks to see a doctor after an accident. Demonstrating prompt medical evaluation and maintaining a log of ongoing symptom progression protects your credibility.
What should you never give to the other driver's insurer?
You are under no legal obligation to provide a recorded statement or sign medical authorization release forms to the opposing driver's insurance carrier before consulting your own attorney.
Important Legal & Privacy Disclaimers
Does this tool provide legal advice or predict settlement amounts?
No. This software is purely an organizational aid for assembling your personal notes and receipts. It does not calculate case value, give legal advice, or establish an attorney-client relationship. In California, statutes of limitation and comparative fault rules depend on specific case facts—always consult a qualified California State Bar member.
Where are my accident notes stored?
All data stays 100% inside your browser's local memory. No text, financial data, or sensitive medical notes are transmitted to our servers or third-party trackers.
Evidence Timeline Sequencing and Consultation Dossier Rules
How does the client-side dossier organize incident chronology and evaluate evidence readiness gaps?
This dossier builder stores collision records, medical visits, insurance communications, and out-of-pocket costs entirely in local browser memory. The chronology sorts every logged entry ascending by timestamp so attorneys and adjusters can trace injury progression without gaps in care. Concurrently, a rule-based diagnostic check evaluates whether critical documentation is pending—such as unconfirmed police reports, unverified medical records, missing tow storage receipts for towed vehicles, or uncalculated wage losses.
All gap evaluations and suggested consultation questions use simplified client-side heuristics. They do not constitute formal legal counsel, statutory civil procedure advice, or comparative fault calculations under jurisdiction-specific statutes.
Try a worked example
Click the "Pedestrian / Crosswalk" preset button above the workspace. The script reinitializes the timeline with two entries (the crosswalk impact at 7:15 PM and hospital casting at 8:00 PM), resets documented losses to $1,635.00 across two ledger items, and sets the evidence gap counter to 0 because an initial medical evaluation with physical records is already present and the vehicle status is set to not applicable.
Chronological Sorting Mechanics
The timeline engine creates an array of logged events and sorts them chronologically using JavaScript Date parsing on each ISO timestamp. When filtered by category (such as Medical, Police, or Insurance), the tool preserves the ascending date order so reviewers can inspect chronological continuity.
Heuristic Gap Detection
The script runs four specific diagnostic checks against current state: (1) whether a police report was omitted or remains pending; (2) whether any medical visit has occurred, and if so, whether medical documentation status is confirmed; (3) whether a towed vehicle has a corresponding tow/impound expense logged to guard against unexpected storage charges; and (4) whether missed work days have an accompanying gross wage figure logged.
Expense arithmetic, diagnostic predicates, and export scope
Read the explanation
This saved accident dossier contains sample records, not a verified incident or legal assessment. The default T-bone sample has five events and five expenses. Its expense total is sixteen hundred fifty-one dollars and sixty-three cents: two hundred fifty for medical, forty-two eighteen for prescriptions, three hundred eighty-five for towing, two hundred ninety forty-five for rental, and six hundred eighty-four for wages. The wage example is twenty-four hours times twenty-eight fifty. Adding a hypothetical one hundred dollar expense makes seventeen hundred fifty-one sixty-three. The tool adds entered amounts; it does not verify receipts, determine liability, or predict a recoverable award. The gap count checks a small set of exact conditions. The default sample shows zero gaps. Removing the towing expense creates one because the vehicle says towed from scene. Removing the wage expense creates another because a lost-wages event remains. Setting the police field to pending creates a third. Removing the sole medical visit creates a fourth. These four categories are independent checklist tests, not a comprehensive legal or medical review. Notice the police sample field says a report is available while its police event still says requested. The diagnostic trusts the incident field, so zero gaps does not mean every document is actually in hand. Timeline filters change the visible view, not the stored dossier. In the sample, the Medical Visit filter shows one event while the record counter stays five. Export still includes all five records in chronological order, all five expense entries, the incident overview, and four fixed consultation questions. Deleting a record changes the actual stored list, so it changes the export. Reloading a preset replaces incident, events, and expenses, but it retains the current filter. A new scene without a medical event can therefore look empty under the medical filter even though other events exist. Inspect the all-records view and the actual exported text to distinguish hiding from deleting.
