Reads the chronology, bills, police report and wage records, and builds the case profile with each fact cited.
- Never changes a billed amount
Nine screens, one valuation
Personal injury case valuation software, from case file to signed range
From the case file to the client’s letter: the specials, the comparables, the outliers, the drivers and the range, each screen with the role that works it.
- 01Specials, cited to the bill
A case profile from the file, each bill cited to its page
How it works
- Reads the chronology, the medical bills, the police report and the wage records
- Builds the profile: injury, surgery, age, venue, defendant and specials
- $97,300 billed plus $20,700 of lost wages makes $118,000 of specials
- Click the specials and the billing summary opens at its page
Case analystNo more retyping the specials from the billing ledger into a valuation sheet, and anyone can check where each dollar came from.
- 02Comparables found
A comparables search across reporters, court records and the firm’s ledger
How it works
- Searches two verdict reporters, public court records and the firm’s own settlement ledger
- Scores each result on injury, venue, age and specials
- Keeps 63 of 211 shoulder results at a closeness of 0.45 or more: 41 settlements, 17 plaintiff and 5 defense verdicts
- Search again reruns it and reports anything new
Case analystGets back the half of the week spent reading verdict summaries to find a few that look like the client.
- 03Comparables plot
Each comparable a dot, placed at its value adjusted to this case
How it works
- Three rows: settlements, plaintiff verdicts and defense verdicts
- Each dot sits at its award in current dollars and at this case’s specials, sized by its medical bills
- The proposed range is drawn as a band across the rows
- Click a dot to see its closeness: 0.99 for a store-aisle fall with the same surgery
Trial attorneySees the whole field of results for a repaired rotator cuff in her courts at once, where a memo used to cite the few someone remembered.
- 04Outlier explained
An outlier flagged as close on paper and different in fact
How it works
- Looks for punitive damages, a second surgery or another state’s law
- C-47 scores 0.81: a $2,350,000 verdict, $3,022,800 once adjusted
- $900,000 of that verdict was punitive damages against a drunk driver
- It recommends a drop and leaves the call to the attorney
Trial attorneyLearns before mediation which verdict is stretching her band and why, before defense counsel raises it at the table.
- 05Band after the drop
Drop a comparable with a reason and watch the band re-count
How it works
- Drops are the trial attorney’s alone, each with a chosen reason
- Without C-47 the band moves from $405,000–690,000 to $410,000–640,000
- The midpoint falls from $528,000 to $512,000, on 62 of 63 comparables
- The memo paragraph under the plot rewrites itself and names the drop
Trial attorneyCan show a mediator what one excluded verdict did to the number, with the reason on the record, so the drop reads as judgment.
- 06Value drivers
Value drivers measured across the comparables that share them
How it works
- Measured across 62 comparables: surgical repair adds 38%, a commercial defendant 15%
- Clear liability adds 8%, cited to the police report
- A prior strain to the same shoulder takes off 24%, and a 23-day gap in care 20%
- On the plot lights up the comparables that share a driver
Trial attorneyWalks in ready for the adjuster’s two attacks, the old shoulder strain and the gap in care, with the answer to each already found in the file.
- 07Range explained
A range that shows what would move it before the mediator asks
How it works
- Found, adjusted, weighted, banded: 63 found, 57 awards weighted, the middle half kept
- Re-counts the band without the out-of-state venues, with one county only, or since 2021
- One county alone gives $410,000–635,000, close to the full set
- The trial attorney approves the range with a note for the file
Managing partnerSees, before co-signing a $720,000 opening, that the band holds when the comparables are narrowed, so the firm can answer a charge of cherry-picking.
- 08Signed valuation memo
A valuation memo that cites each figure and names what was dropped
How it works
- Drafted from the plot, the drivers and the venue history
- Each fact links to its page in the police report, the chronology or the billing summary
- Cites 69 sources, and counts 12 confidential firm settlements without naming them
- Switches between the internal memo and the mediation statement
Trial attorneySigns a memo that already agrees with the plot, with no paragraphs to rewrite each time a comparable goes in or out.
- 09Letter to the client
A settlement authority letter the client can read in one sitting
How it works
- Drafted in plain words from the approved range and the latest offer
- Sets the $210,000 offer against a fair range of $410,000 to 640,000
- Suggests a floor of $450,000 and says the decision is the client’s
- Waits for the attorney to approve it before it is sent
ClientGets a fair number and the reason for it in words an injured warehouse worker can follow alone, and makes the call himself.
