In many cases, attorneys representing injured clients will do so on a 'contingent fee basis,' making the legal fees for the injured party payable once the case is settled in favor of the client. After proving the defendant’s liability, the settlement amount will depend on a judicial review of the extent of damages and other case specifics. Since a large number of personal injury cases can be compensated for by insurance programs, such civil suits are often resolved through 'no-fault compensation.'
Throughout the life of any one injury case, there is a vast wealth of medical documentation, deadlines, limitations, key corroboration, and communication that must be documented and stored. According to WA Law Society experts, communication errors have led to 40% of the complaints filed against attorneys of smaller law firms. Legal teams, large and small, can better manage routine actions and tasks by automating complex legal task management.
Personal injury lawsuits are often filed and litigated on a contingent fee basis, thus helping the injured party from undue financial hardship.
Insurance and other similar liability programs can often offer the injured party financial compensation arbitrated through no-fault compensation.
Automated personal injury case management is key to managing the wealth of documents and deadlines necessary for the effective resolution and management of such cases.
Most important, in terms of timely and thorough case management, is establishing internal law firm process workflow standards and services.
