Why this data matters

Injury traffic is valuable because timing, evidence, and fault rules affect whether someone can act. The page should capture email early, then route to evidence organisation and lawyer-review paths.

The chart is a planning shortcut, not legal advice. Always verify current local rules before acting, especially when court deadlines, criminal consequences, custody, tenancy, or limitation periods are involved.
