Our team capabilities: Our team has not only processed and handled thousands of cases dealing with all kinds of accidents and injuries, from soft tissue to wrongful death, but we have handled them in many different languages including, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and English. We know that effective communication starts with being able to communicate with the client in their native language.. Our cutting edge technology: We utilize a custom-designed software application known as ClaimTrack (patent pending) that has a three tiered system for improving the way personal injury claims are handled. At the bottom layer, which we call Operations, we have drastically improved the efficiency with which we handle and process all of our cases. The second layer, known as the Provider Portal is where we have the ability to share information, including client index information, provider information, insurance contacts, and more, with relevant third-parties. The third and top layer, which serves as the catalyst for the ClaimTrack system, is the Client Portal, where clients can view all their case information, including claim status, directly from their phone through the ClaimTrack mobile application. The use of ClaimTrack technology and the client portal expedities claims processing, increases claim value, and potentially reduces legal fees for the client.
