Within how many days of a crash should the Legal Office contact involved personnel to schedule a meeting?

• A. 7 days
• B. 5 days
• C. 2 days
• D. 10 days

Answer: (B)

Prompt contact after a crash aims to start the investigation promptly and bring all involved parties into the process while memories and evidence are still fresh. Five days is the best choice because it balances speed with practicality: it gives the Legal Office time to identify who needs to be involved, review initial information, and coordinate schedules for a meeting without unnecessary delay. Reaching out too quickly, like within two days, can be premature if not all parties or documents are identified yet. Waiting longer, such as seven or ten days, risks delaying necessary legal coordination and could impact recall or evidence. Five days provides a timely, workable window for initiating the meeting.
