Consider Personal Injury Case Management Software

If you haven’t adopted a Case Management System for your law firm, or are utilizing an inefficient one, it’s time to consider your options.

What are the benefits of utilizing Case Management Software?

In streamlining your own Firm policies and procedures technologically, you will realize an increase in case turnover and resolution rate, an increase in Staff productivity, improve office technology, reduce stress and malpractice claims in meeting every deadline, appearance and Statute, increase client satisfaction, increase profits, reduce costs and reach goals expeditiously. Your interoffice and client communication will also reach new heights.

At the most basic level, what is needed in your Case Management Software?

  • Calendaring
  • Case Management & Organization
  • Task Management
  • Case Plans
  • Contacts Libraries
  • Notes
  • Document Generation
  • Document Filing
  • Staff Productivity Monitoring
  • Audit Log
  • Financial Management
  • Security Features
  • Report Generation

If you don’t have all of these features in your system, or don’t have a system at all, you are outdating your firm and missing out on extremely useful efficiency technology.

What typical firm tribulations will be resolved by integrating a comprehensive case management system?

  • Missed deadlines
  • Missed court appearances
  • Lack of workflow organization
  • Lack of communication or miscommunication
  • Lack of uniformity in work product
  • Lost data and documents
  • Lost contact information
  • Failure to track sources
  • Mismanaged cases and files
  • Inadequate productivity
  • Staff irresponsibility and “flying under the radar”
  • Too many unsatisfied clients

What other benefits will you enjoy with case management software for your law firm?

Cutting out the clutter and streamlining workflow and communication does wonders for any business. The more complication and disorganization, the more likely staff minds will wander and be confused, leading to laziness and mistakes. Cleaning up processes allows for greater concentration, clearer views of what’s important and urgent vs. less important items, a better work product with less errors, an increase in work volume output, identification of valuable and unproductive staff members, a more cohesive environment, and a happier team overall.

Employee Information All In One Place

Often times employee information is either kept in folders on the desktop, unprotected, or in an unknown location in the office. LawAlign provides a protected folder to upload personal employee documents, so that they can be stored in the same place, where they are easily accessible at all times.

Furthermore, LawAlign provides a place to enter vacation days taken, signature, role, write-ups, and other vital employee information.

Even though we may not notice, minutes wasted looking for information through out the work day takes away from productivity. For example, an employee has taken a sick day but needs to be reached due to an office emergency, you would typically have to speak to other employees to retrieve their personal phone number or email address so that you can contact them. This often times disturbs the other employees and wastes time.

Trying to save minutes may not seem important, but those minutes do add up to hours and days. Productivity flourishes in offices that come to understand that efficiency does not just happen, it has to be built. LawAlign can help!
