For Solicitors
Kill duds earlier. Protect WIP. Brief experts with confidence.
80% of clinical negligence inquiries go nowhere. The 20% that do still face a high attrition rate. MedCase helps you make the keep-or-kill decision earlier, with evidence-linked findings ready for qualified review.
The problem
Every hour on a case that won’t run is unrecoverable.
Under no win, no fee, WIP is the metric that matters. Five to ten hours of fee-earner time on a case the firm later has to drop is what hurts most. Faster, sharper triage is the lever.
Most inquiries don’t become claims
Roughly 80% of clinical negligence inquiries don’t reach a viable claim, but every one still needs an initial read.
Manual triage is slow and inconsistent
Different fee-earners reach different views on borderline files. Inconsistency creates risk and churn.
Expert screening is expensive
Sending borderline files to an expert before triage is costly. A sharper internal view first reduces that spend.
Capacity caps the team
Time spent on duds is time not spent on viable claims, so capacity gets capped at the rate of triage.
Workflow fit
Slots into the process you already follow.
Inquiry intake
New inquiry arrives. You gather records from healthcare providers.
Upload to MedCase
Records go into MedCase. OCR is applied to scanned and handwritten pages automatically.
Protocol selection
You select the relevant clinical protocols: NICE guidelines, Royal College guidelines, local trust pathways.
Severity-scored review
You review evidence-linked findings prioritised by severity for professional review. AI case chat answers follow-ups against the record.
Keep or kill
A clear, evidence-backed view earlier in the file, so you can keep, kill, or progress to expert with confidence.
Brief the expert
If progressing, the structured findings report briefs the expert with precise, evidence-linked protocol issues.
Sample finding
A real-shape, anonymised finding.
Every potential issue is structured with a severity score (1 to 10) to help prioritise professional review, a direct evidence quote, a protocol reference, and a page citation back to the original record.

ROI framing
What does this cost vs. doing it manually?
UK national hourly rates run from approximately £110/hr at trainee level to £300/hr at senior partner level (higher in London). A clinical negligence file that takes a trainee or paralegal half a day to screen manually costs £400 to £1,200 in fee-earner time alone, before any expert involvement.
MedCase works out at £150 per screened case on Core (£1,500/mo, 10 cases) and £100 per screened case on Advanced (£2,500/mo, 25 cases), with carry-over add-ons available for higher months.
Rates and hours are illustrative national figures. Your actual saving depends on the rate of the fee-earner doing the screening and the volume of inquiries you handle.
