How To Use Personal Injury Case Management Software

22 December 2015 by Franklin Vasquez

If you are a personal injury lawyer and run your own firm, chances are good that you are sometimes overwhelmed with the number of cases that you receive. There are a lot of people who need your assistance in making sure that justice is met and that they get the funds that they deserve to get their life back together. One way to stay organized is to use personal injury case management software. There are several different types of case management software available on the market. Here are some characteristics to look for to make sure that you choose the best one.

1. Secure and Browser-Based

The first characteristic that the software should have is that it is browser-based, meaning that all of the information that you enter into the software is stored in a cloud so that you are able to access it pretty much from any computer as long as there is an Internet connection. You want the software to be based in a browser in order to ensure overall ease of accessibility. However, you also want to make sure that the company has taken the right steps to make sure that the information that you put into the software remains secure. Before choosing a software, talk to the company about its encryption measures and any problems that it might have had with security at any point.

2. Unlimited Entry Fields

You also want to ensure that you do not purchase software that is going to limit the amount of information that you can put in about any one plaintiff or case. For example, you want to make sure that you are able to record every piece of evidence that you have gathered about a case. If you run out of entry fields, you are not going to have a complete case. Make sure that you demo any software before you use it to ensure that it does not limit the number of entry fields that you are allowed to use.

3. Lots of Information on One Screen

Finally, you want to choose a software that is able to display as much relevant information on one screen as possible and allows you to change which types of information are displayed. You might find it more helpful to always see the list of witnesses that you have, as well as all of your court dates for a particular case, whereas another person might find it more useful to have the list of evidence displayed. A software system that allows you to customize what's on screen makes it easier to make sure that you are as efficient as possible.
