Highlights

  • “Anytime AI is a really valuable tool to add to your toolbox. It will absolutely make your job and your life so much easier, and will make you more thorough and do a better job.”
  • “Anytime AI acts like a second brain to help find things more quickly.”
  • “I log into Anytime AI, basically every day. And I have most of my cases set up there to try to evaluate them.”
  • “I do feel like my demands and my mediations are a lot more thorough because I can find answers more quickly by using Anytime AI than I can (myself) by just trying to flip through the record and find a bookmark that I’ve made before.”
  • Before Anytime AI, attorneys spent 5+ hours per case reviewing medical records. With Anytime AI, this was cut to under 2 hours, saving 60% of review time.

AI is such a buzzy thing right now, people slap the term AI onto everything and act like it’s a cure all.  A big misconception is AI will do all your work for you, and that’s not what it is. But it is a wonderful tool that you can use. You learn how to talk to it the right way, and how to ask it the right questions, and it will absolutely make your job and your life so much easier, and will make you more thorough and do a better job.” – Hannah Garrett

Overview

Our client The Higgins Firm, led by Jim Higgins, specializes in personal injury and nursing home neglect cases in the Nashville, Tennessee area. 

In July 2024, the firm sought to enhance its ability to manage voluminous medical records and case documentation for complex cases. By integrating Anytime AI, The Higgins Firm increased a settlement offer by 20X, reduced case preparation time by 50%+, and streamlined legal workflows.


Challenge

Before implementing Anytime AI, The Higgins Firm team were looking for ways to enhance their efficiency in handling complex medical records and case documentation.

Most firms struggle with manual tasks in intake and medical analysis, leading to:

  • Repetitive data entry: Paralegals and intake teams manually input the same details across multiple documents.
  • Slow turnaround times: Delays in compiling litigation history and medical records slow down case progression.
  • Human error: Manual processing increases the risk of missing key details.
  • Attorney bottlenecks: Lawyers spend too much time reviewing incomplete or inconsistent drafts.

The Higgins Firm recognized an opportunity to streamline their document intake, case background, and review process and improve their ability to quickly access relevant case information, especially for their specialized nursing home neglect and abuse cases. The firm sought an innovative solution that could complement and streamline their existing workflows and help them serve their clients even more effectively. 


Solution

In July 2024, The Higgins Firm integrated Anytime AI into their operations. After evaluating other AI products, the firm was impressed by Anytime AI’s flexibility and its ability to adapt dynamically during demonstrations, providing real-time responses beyond preset scripts.

Anytime AI’s Role in Automating Intake & Case Prep

  • Extract key details from intake forms and prior case records to pre-populate documents, reducing Intake Processing Time by Hours.
  • Automatically format intake and merge Medical Record data into accurate Medical Chronologies and Timeline summaries. 
  • Extract relevant information from intake, background case files, and medical records to generate various legal documents drafts. 
Hannah Garrett became an expert user at the Higgins Firm, working closely with the Anytime AI team to integrate the solution into her workflow.

Results

After implementing Anytime AI, The Higgins Firm experienced significant improvements. Hannah now handles approximately 68 cases more efficiently, with noticeable time savings in intake, preparing case backgrounds, drafting complaints, answering discovery, and preparing for mediations. 

In a key case, Hannah led the firm to boost a $15,000 settlement offer to a $350,000 jury verdict, impressing jurors with tech-driven evidence organization. During pre-trial talks, she used Anytime AI to instantly retrieve key medical records, leaving the defense scrambling to “get back later.”


Benefits

  • Higher settlement / jury awards: 23X as evidenced in the above example.
  • Enhanced Effectiveness: Quickly access key records and formulate arguments, giving attorneys a strategic edge in mediations, negotiations, and court.
  • Increased Productivity: Drafting complaints and discovery is now much faster. Anytime AI cuts medical record review time, responding interrogatory questions, reviewing medical records, creating a chronology, and summarizing a timeline from 5+ hours to under 2 saving 60% of review time.
