Why Legal Cases Need More Than a Pizza Tracker
In the world of personal injury cases, it’s tempting to compare the process to something as straightforward as ordering a pizza. After all, who wouldn’t want a convenient “pizza tracker” to monitor their case’s progress? But while phase updates are helpful, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Legal cases require more robust communication to keep clients informed and genuinely engaged.
Why Legal Cases Deserve More Than a Pizza Tracker
Phases Are Just the Beginning
A pizza tracker focuses on clear, linear steps: prep, bake, box, and deliver. Similarly, legal cases follow distinct phases like treatment, demand, and litigation. But unlike pizza-making, these phases can stretch for weeks to months (sometimes years), leaving clients waiting for the next visible update.
While automated phase updates provide a helpful roadmap, they don’t address the gaps between phases. Clients need more frequent touchpoints to stay reassured and engaged, even when their cases appear to be in a holding pattern.
For instance, a client undergoing medical treatment might not receive updates for months, but behind the scenes, their legal team is coordinating with doctors, collecting records, and planning the next steps. Without clear communication, clients may feel like nothing is happening, leading to frustration and distrust.
Keeping Clients Engaged Between Updates
What happens during a case’s quieter moments? Without regular communication, clients might feel forgotten or assume nothing is happening. Quilia combines phase updates with weekly nudges to keep clients involved.
These consistent touchpoints:
- Reinforce the importance of treatment compliance.
- Provide reminders to document pain and suffering.
- Reassure clients that progress is being made behind the scenes.
For example, a client recovering from an injury might receive a reminder to upload photos of their physical therapy progress. This keeps them engaged and strengthens their case with valuable documentation.
Quilia’s Daily Feed ensures clients receive timely updates and reminders tailored to their cases. These small but consistent interactions build trust and show that their cases are always progressing.
Empowering Clients to Take an Active Role
A pizza tracker assumes clients are passive observers, but legal cases benefit from active client participation. Quilia encourages clients to:
- Track their treatment progress.
- Share relevant updates or documents.
- Ask questions and stay informed without needing to call their attorney.
Empowered clients are more likely to stay compliant, directly improving case outcomes. For instance, a client who regularly updates their pain diary or communicates challenges in real time gives their attorney more substantial evidence to negotiate a better settlement.
Quilia’s tools make participation intuitive and stress-free, fostering a sense of partnership between clients and their legal team.
How Quilia Goes Beyond the Pizza Tracker
Dynamic and Contextual Updates
Quilia’s communication tools provide more than just a status update. They offer context and guidance, helping clients understand why certain phases take time and how their actions impact the case. This personalized approach ensures clients remain confident in their legal team and the process.
For example, if a case is in the demand phase, Quilia might send a message explaining that the team is waiting for a response from the insurance company. This transparency reassures clients and prevents unnecessary anxiety.
Proactive Client Engagement
Weekly nudges ensure clients feel connected to their case, even during quieter periods. This proactive approach reduces anxiety and builds trust, leading to better client and attorney outcomes. These nudges can include reminders to attend appointments, upload necessary documents, or check in with progress updates.
Consider a scenario where a client receives a nudge about an upcoming doctor’s appointment. This simple reminder helps the client stay on track and ensures that their case progresses smoothly without delays.
A Holistic Communication Platform
Beyond phase updates, Quilia offers tools that empower clients and simplify communication for attorneys. From treatment tracking to direct messaging, Quilia ensures everyone stays on the same page.
