Back in 2005, office supply store Staples started running commercials featuring a magical red “Easy Button.” The button was a metaphor for how simple and convenient shopping with Staples was. More than 1 million people purchased their own $6.99 button in less than a year of the campaign’s launch. The message of “make it easy” really resonated.

No one wants added complexity. Yet change brought about by innovation and new technology can often feel less than easy. Unfortunately, most software purpose-built for the legal profession falls short of being easy to adopt and beneficial for the bottom line.

CaseMark aims to be the “Easy Button” for the entire litigation lifecycle, from intake to verdict and beyond. We help legal teams focus on what matters most by automating repetitive tasks. Our specialized summaries help paralegals jump start and stay ahead of trial prep and lawyers easily find critical information needed for legal strategy.

The Litigation Lifecycle

The litigation lifecycle is the entire process involved in resolving a legal dispute through the court system. It encompasses all stages, from the initial client intake through filing of a lawsuit to the final resolution, including potential appeals.

At any time, personal injury paralegals might be juggling upwards of 100 personal injury files—all at different stages of the legal process. Here’s how CaseMark helps streamline document summarization through the entire litigation lifecycle.

‍Initial Case Evaluation

After intake, one of your first tasks on a personal injury case is conducting initial interviews and assessing case viability. Summaries of these documents can help your team focus on the most relevant information, such as key evidence or witness statements, to streamline case preparation.

CaseMark automates the creation of page-line and narrative deposition summaries, extracting crucial statements, key witness testimonies, and relevant evidence. Our advanced AI-driven analysis goes beyond simple document scanning:

• Intelligent Relevance Scoring: Our algorithm prioritizes information based on its potential impact on case strategy, highlighting critical testimony and evidence that could make or break your case.
• Comprehensive Context Analysis: Unlike traditional summary tools, CaseMark provides nuanced insights into witness credibility, potential inconsistencies, and contextual details that might be overlooked in manual review.
• Rapid Viability Assessment: Quickly gauge the potential success of a case by leveraging AI-powered risk analysis that cross-references deposition details with historical case outcomes, legal precedents, and specific jurisdictional trends.
• Multi-Format Summarization: Choose between detailed page-line summaries for in-depth review and concise narrative overviews that capture the essence of key testimonies, adapting to your team's preferred workflow.
• Seamless Integration: Directly import and analyze documents from various sources, including PDFs, scanned images, and multiple file formats, ensuring no critical information falls through the cracks.

By transforming the time-consuming process of initial case evaluation, CaseMark empowers legal teams to make faster, more informed decisions, allowing you to focus on building compelling arguments and serving your clients more effectively.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

‍Discovery documents can be voluminous. Not missing key details that could impact the case strategy is crucial for this phase of preparation. Summaries with hyperlinks make it easier for you to create accurate discovery requests and responses.

Medical records are a cornerstone of a personal injury claim. CaseMark's medical records narratives and chronologies are produced in PDF and editable Word format, so that you can continue to add details as new information is added. This is a great way to "jump start" your preparation. We also highlight content that is missing from a typical medical chronology or summary, allowing you to follow up with your client or providers on gaps.

• Intelligent Document Analysis: Our AI-powered system meticulously scans through thousands of pages of discovery documents, identifying and flagging:some text

Demand Letter and Negotiation

‍Summaries can aid in the preparation of demand letters and demand packages. Our tax return / loss of income summaries and medical records narratives are useful for calculating damages, including medical expenses and lost wages, to calculate the impact of a loss.

By transforming raw data into strategic insights, CaseMark empowers legal teams to craft more impactful demand letters and approach negotiations with confidence.

Pre-Trial Discovery and Preparation

What Matters Most - Beyond Litigation

‍Building technology for legal teams requires thinking about more than products that help you deliver for your client. Part of being an “easy button” for litigation means taking away worries. Some of the challenges CaseMark helps with include:

Data security: Not safeguarding client data can put your firm in legal jeopardy. CaseMark invests in our IT security and compliance.

‍Time management: Our summaries take a time consuming task off your plate, allowing you to spend more time on clients and strategy.
