The demand letter bottleneck is costing your firm millions.
95% of PI cases settle pre-trial. The quality and speed of your demands directly determine how much your clients recover — and how fast your firm gets paid.
The Bottleneck
Three compounding failure points
The traditional demand workflow bleeds revenue at every stage.
Record retrieval
Fax-and-phone workflows. Weeks chasing providers, re-sending authorizations, waiting on hold. Nearly half of firms outsource this entirely.
Coverage gaps missed
Demands drafted against policies that can't cover the ask. Weeks of attorney time wasted on cases that were never viable.
Per demand, manually
Every attorney has their own template and approach. Inconsistent formatting that adjusters deprioritize.
The Solution
Full pre-litigation automation in 48 hours
Not a template. A complete engine that compresses weeks of manual work into hours.
Digital coverage verification
Verified before your team invests a single hour. Flags the 20%+ of cases with coverage gaps.
CPT-code medical review
AI analyzes records at the individual procedure code level. Surfaces gaps, identifies missed treatments, builds the medical narrative.
Demand Composer
Carrier-formatted packages in 12–24 hours at $100–$175 per letter. Structured the way adjusters actually process claims.
Side by Side
Traditional workflow vs. Precedent
| Traditional | With Precedent | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage Verification | Phone calls, days to weeks | Digital, within 48 hours |
| Medical Record Review | Manual attorney review, weeks | AI at CPT-code level, hours |
| Demand Drafting | 1–3 weeks per demand | 12–24 hours, carrier-formatted |
| Cost per Demand | $500–$2,000+ in attorney time | $100–$175 flat rate |
| Coverage Gap Detection | Often discovered too late | Flagged before work begins |

What firms and carriers say
Precedent has worked closely with our team to identify and meet our specific needs. From integrating with our case management system to reduce data entry and errors, to jurisdiction specific requirements, the team at Precedent has worked in true partnership with our firm to create sustainable results.
I started helping our demand team draft demands, and I have not done them in years. And I would say, with your guys' help in the program, I think I was able to draft—I don't know—13 demands in one day, just by myself.
I look forward to receiving a demand from Precedent. I work them first because they are much easier to process.
It has been a total game changer, saved us a tremendous amount of time. And in the end we are getting more money for our clients, a lot more quickly.

The Math
The real cost of waiting
If demand automation produces 16% higher settlements across your caseload, and you handle 200 cases/year at an average settlement of $50,000:
Every month you wait is revenue left on the table and cases that settle for less than they should.
One platform. One pipeline.
From intake to settlement.
