Mastering Mass Torts with Mary

A single claimant’s file can contain thousands of pages of medical records, provider notes and treatment logs. Across hundreds of plaintiffs, reviewing those records and keeping up as more arrive is a substantial job.

Mary reads the records and organizes them into a structured file your team can review and use throughout the case.

From intake to a working case file

Review leads before the acceptance deadline

Paid leads may give your team only a few days to decide whether to accept a claimant. Mary separates hospital bundles into individual documents, categorizes them and lets your team ask questions about the records. You can build a medical chronology or check for a particular diagnosis, treatment or exposure in minutes.

Check each claimant against your criteria

Write a case summary setting out what matters for the tort. Mary assesses the facts it extracts against that summary and brings the relevant entries to your team’s attention, so reviewers can work through each claimant using the same criteria.

Follow up on missing records

A file might mention a scan without including the report, refer to a provider whose records haven’t been produced, or leave a gap in treatment. Mary flags those gaps for your team to review and follow up with records requests.

Use the record across the case

Once your team has reviewed the record, you can use it to prepare medical chronologies, provider lists, case outlines and fact sheets. Word and Excel exports retain links to the source pages, so anyone working from them can check the underlying documents.

Working through the settlement grid

When a global settlement arrives, your team has to work out where each claimant belongs on the injury matrix. On a docket that has been running for years, that can mean revisiting old files, checking how injuries have progressed and reviewing supplemental records.

Mary helps your team work through that review:

• Describe the settlement grid in plain language. Mary proposes a review plan for your approval, then builds a table of injuries, dates and supporting pages.
• Open the source for each entry. Reviewers can check the evidence supporting a tier without searching through the file again.
• Identify missing documentation. Where an injury is alleged but the supporting record is missing, your team can follow up before the allocation deadline.

Reviewing the evidence

An unsupported entry can affect a claimant’s allocation and the firm’s credibility with the special master. Your team needs to be able to check how each entry made it into the record.

Every fact in Mary links to its source page. If records give different dates for the same procedure, Mary shows both for your team to resolve. Paralegals, records staff and attorneys review and approve the record, and changes require a person to sign off.

That gives the people working on the matter—from intake and records staff to settlement counsel and causation experts—a shared record they can check and work from. It also helps the attorneys preparing for mediation find the evidence supporting each claimant’s case.

Try it on a file you know

Bring a claimant file your team has already reviewed. We’ll use the same documents to build the record, then compare it with your chronology or settlement-grid entry on a call. You can check the results against work you already know.

Mary is pay-as-you-go, so usage can increase when a new docket comes in and decrease between settlements. There are no per-matter fees for cases that never reach litigation.
