A Deadline-Review Preparation Checklist

Find a document showing the crash date and location; mark any uncertainty rather than guessing.
List your home state and the state where the crash occurred.
Identify any public agency, employer, delivery company, or rideshare service connected to a vehicle.
Download insurer letters and keep envelopes or electronic timestamps showing when they arrived.
Gather any settlement release, attorney agreement, closing letter, or court paperwork you already have.
Flag the date prominently when requesting help, especially if the crash happened months or years ago.
Ask for confirmation of who will assess deadlines; do not treat an evaluation request as a court filing.
