We build plaintiff files for the firms that try them. We do not do anything else, and that is on purpose.
Between the signed retainer and the trial team there is a body of work nobody wants to talk about. Somebody has to find the treaters, order the records, read them, complete the fact sheet, verify the work and residence history, and prove the plaintiff used the product. At volume, and on a court's calendar.
It is unglamorous, high-headcount, and deadline-bound. It is also where dockets are won and lost. Staff for it and you carry the overhead after the docket closes. Don't staff for it and a fact sheet deadline takes two hundred cases you already paid to acquire.
Litigize does that work. Not as a vendor you chase for status, but as the operating layer between your intake and your trial team.
Our founders have spent twenty years doing pre-litigation work — mass torts, motor vehicle, medical malpractice, asbestos and mesothelioma, and disability claims. Five practice areas that look like the same job from the outside and are not.
The work has run from narrow, technical dockets with a few dozen plaintiffs to inventories in the thousands inside the largest MDLs, for firms whose names you would recognize. Both ends of that range teach you something, and they teach you different things. A small docket is a precision problem. An MDL is a logistics problem before it is ever a legal one. A shop that has only done one will tell you they are the same.
We do not originate cases. We hold no fee interest. We are not co-counsel and we do not practice law. We work under your firm's supervision, we do the file work, and you own the file.
That is a narrower business than most of this category runs, and we think the narrowness is the point. A vendor who is also selling you inventory, or resolving your liens, or holding a piece of the fee, has a second set of interests in the room. We have one.
The lesson is not subtle. Technology moves the paper. It does not move the person. Every tool we have ever bought made the file cheaper to assemble, and not one of them made a claimant answer the phone, or a records custodian return a call, or a partner trust us with the next docket.
So we do both, and we're honest about which is which. The tools work quietly in the background and they make the file cheaper to build. The relationship is the business.
The file work looks identical from a distance. Up close, each one breaks differently, and knowing how is the entire value of having done it before.
Thousands of plaintiffs, one case management order, and criteria that move mid-litigation. Census, PFS, deficiency cure, and re-screening at cohort scale.
High volume, fast cycle, and records from providers who bill like a retail business. Treatment chronologies, billing reconciliation, and gap analysis that survives a claims adjuster.
The chart is the argument. Complete acquisition, clinical review against the standard of care, and a chronology built to be read by an expert.
A fifty-year work history, a defendant that may not exist anymore, and a plaintiff who may not survive the litigation. Employment reconstruction, site and trade mapping, successor tracing.
A form, a deadline, and a claimant who is too sick to chase paperwork. Records, functional capacity documentation, and completion under a filing window.
We have worked the tort you're working, usually from the first filings. We know what the criteria are, what the court will demand, and where the inventory will get attacked. You're not briefing a stranger.
Clinical review is done by qualified medical professionals, matched to the docket, who read the record. Every chronology entry carries a page cite. If a case doesn't hold up, you hear it from us early, in writing.
Fact sheet deadlines, deficiency notices, and cure windows are tracked by us and reported to you. Dismissal for a missed PFS is a self-inflicted wound and we treat it that way.
We use every tool in the category and we will keep buying more. We also staff your docket with people who stay on it. Your paralegal gets a name and a number. Your claimants get someone who remembers their file. Nothing in a platform demo replaces that, and inventory that goes dark is the proof.
Work lands back in your case management system in the format your court wants. Not a folder of PDFs. Not an email with a link that expires.
Plaintiff firms use us to work inventory faster than they can staff for, without hiring against a docket that may close.
Litigation funders use us to diligence a portfolio before they price it, and to keep a borrower's inventory workable after they've deployed.
Referring counsel use us to hand a co-counsel a file that's already worked up, which is worth more than a file that isn't.
Talk to usProtected health information moves through our system under HIPAA-compliant process with executed business associate agreements, role-based access, audit logging, and encrypted transport and storage. Personnel are trained and background-checked. Records are retained and destroyed on your schedule, not ours.
We work under your firm's supervision. We don't give legal advice, we don't sign pleadings, and we don't hold a fee interest in your cases.
