I got an email from an attorney with a screenshot. AI had flagged "Neck and back pain" as a pre-existing condition on one of his cases. At first, he thought this was a mistake.
The neck and back injuries were supposed to be caused by the MVA, not pre-existing. A click on the source link showed otherwise.
The patient had mentioned that her ongoing acupuncture treatment was to get better sleep. It predated the accident by months. Sure enough, buried deep inside thousands of pages was a note for neck and back pain. The legal team had missed this.
This isn't unusual or surprising. Humans excel at clinical analysis and case strategy. But we have limited attention spans.
This single trial-run led the attorney to adopt AI as part of his practice. Not to replace his brilliant team, but to give them superpowers.
Clients don't care about the tools you use; they care about the outcome. If AI helps you find a hidden landmine in a 10,000-page record before the opposing counsel does, the victory is yours.
A New Workflow to Eliminate the Grunt Work
Here is his firm's new workflow to eliminate the grunt work:
- Upload records to AttorneyAide. The platform performs OCR, organizes information, builds a medical chronology, and deduplicates the data to identify all pre-existing conditions, diagnoses, and medical expenses.
- The platform automatically flags contradictions or concerns for expert human review.
- Human experts review the flagged data, clicking directly through to the exact source page to verify accuracy and make changes if needed.
- The legal team analyzes causation, damages, treatment gaps, and standard-of-care deviations.
- The platform uses the extracted information and strategy to generate the first draft of the Demand Letter in the firm's format.
