## Preparation roadmap

This is a preparation path, not a court schedule or a promise of a payout.

1. **Understand the matter.** Read the case overview and inspect its official sources. Keep allegations separate from findings.
2. **Explore your connection.** Use optional preparation questions. Interest in a matter is not proof of a claim.
3. **Build your record trail.** Receipts, transaction dates or account history. Add only what you already know or can verify.
4. **Organize your questions.** Clarify the transaction, account or business issue before requesting professional advice.
5. **Choose professional review.** Start with your existing lawyer if represented. A lawyer reviews deadlines, jurisdiction and any filing or settlement options.

## Existing records that may help

- Receipts, transaction dates or account history
- Notices and relevant contracts or communications
- Any prior claim, release or legal correspondence

## Care information — separate from legal eligibility

- Verify any settlement notice, administrator, release, deadline and currently open intake.
- Obtain current counsel-approved screening criteria; no eligibility rules are approved here.
- Do not turn a commercial or intellectual-property case into a medical screening pathway.
