Four evidence lanes
Event
Describe the collision, fall, blow, or jolt and what was observed immediately afterward.
Clinical
Preserve evaluations, diagnoses, imaging reports, referrals, and restrictions.
Function
Track changes to work, school, driving, sleep, exercise, and ordinary tasks.
Causation needs chronology
The file should make the before-and-after sequence legible without overstating what any single record proves. California deadlines can be fact-specific; this desk does not calculate a filing deadline or give legal advice.
