DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR LITIGATION EVALUATION

摘要

Information about a pre-litigation case is received from a claimant. A case score is determined based on the received information, and compared with a predefined threshold. Further processing for the case is selected based on the comparison. The case score is based on a liability score and a damages score, each of which may be computed as a weighted average. The further processing may be determining what additional information should be collected from the claimant; determining what documents should be collected from the claimant; interviewing the claimant; rejecting the case, referring the case to an outside attorney; or accepting the case for further consideration. The received information includes a case type, and documents are prepared based on the received information and predetermined information associated with the case type. The prepared documents may include a Complaint, a discovery request, or a budget and schedule for the case.
