Abstract
A computer-implemented method for preparing a legal casefile for an injury in which the injured is surveyed, information about the accident is transformed and aggregated, and a report is created based on the analysis of all of the information.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method for preparing a legal casefile for an injury, comprising the steps of:
- a. querying a user who may have claim against a third party for the injury from motor vehicle accident, wherein the query is through a graphical interface operatively connected to a casefile system;
- b. surveying the user about the operative facts about the injury and accident, wherein the casefile system electronically inquiries into specific details connected with the injury;
- c. seeking permission from the user to collect information related to the injury and accident from third party sources, wherein the data is stored by cloud computing or in a data warehouse;
- c. aggregating and storing the information in the data warehouse;
- d. automatically and electronically transforming the information from the sources into structured data suitable for legal analysis;
- e. analyzing the structured data to determine insurance coverage and to coordinate the insurance coverage;
- f. reconciling the operative facts with the structured data using an algorithm that weights facts based on historical data, historical correlations, and legal principles;
- g. identifying potential liability of the third party from the facts;
- and
- h. creating a report to manage client and case information, to facilitate legal processing of a case against the third party, wherein the report includes liability analysis, insurance coverage, medical information, and medical analysis, wherein the liability analysis include correlations or specific facts in the structured data;
- the medical information includes correlation or specific medical facts in the structured data.
A computerized-method for preparing and legal casefile for an injury and accident, comprising the steps of:
- a. surveying the user through a graphical interface about the operative facts about the injury and accident;
- wherein the casefile system electronically inquiries into specific details connected with the injury
- b. electronically aggregating and storing information in a data warehouse, wherein the data is stored by cloud computing or in a data warehouse;
- c. automatically and electronically transforming the information from the sources into structured data for legal analysis,
- d. analyzing the structured data to determine insurance coverage and to coordinate the insurance coverage,
- e. reconciling the operative facts with the structured data using an algorithm that weights facts based on historical data, historical correlations, and legal principles,
- f. identifying significant data that include (1) potential liability of the third party from the structured data, (2) follow-up medical care from the structured data, (3) any pain and suffering by the user, and (4) special damages from the structured data,
- g. preparing electronically a first report that includes significant data so that an attorney may confirm the significant facts with the user, and
- h. preparing electronically a second report that identifies probability of a financial outcome based on historical data of settlement and verdicts and based statistical analysis.
A processing system including provisions to execute a document workflow for a legal casefile processing, comprising the steps of:
- a. user module
- b. a casefile system having a data transformation tool, a logic or reconciliation tool and a claims algorithm engine
- c. a case report module,
- wherein the system stores computerized text including generated medical codes, computerized text generated from check boxes and other information extracted from the patient encounter information that is displayed at various locations in one or more electronic templates such as the electronic medical record.
