Data & AI Client: U.S. personal injury law firm
AI-Powered Billing Calculation for Legal Case Documents
LEGAL TECH AI DOCUMENT PROCESSING BILLING AUTOMATION
Client
A U.S. law firm specializing in personal injury cases was spending a lot of time manually calculating all the costs related to their cases. They had to review invoices and receipts from many providers, each with its format and logic. This took a lot of time and led to potential revenue loss because they weren’t always applying the correct interest rates for costs from previous years.
Challenge
- Varied Document Formats: The firm received invoices and receipts that looked very different from each other, making it hard to standardize the calculations.
- Duplicate Receipts: Some receipts were duplicates of ones they had already processed, which could lead to errors if counted twice.
- Poor Image Quality: Many documents were hard to read because of low image quality, making it difficult for software to recognize the text.
Solution
DevRain developed an AI-powered tool to automate the billing calculation process. This tool reduced the effort required by about 90%. Here’s how it helped:
- Advanced Text Recognition: The AI could read text from images, even if they were of poor quality.
- Understanding Different Formats: It could process various invoice and receipt formats, no matter how different.
- Duplicate Detection: The tool identified duplicate receipts to prevent counting them more than once.
- Automatic Interest Calculation: It automatically applies the correct interest rates to previous years’ costs.
- Detailed Calculation Reports: The AI clearly explained how it calculated the costs, which the firm’s employees could use in court.
- Human Review: When the AI cannot recognize a document, a person checks it to ensure accuracy.
Results
- Time Savings: The firm reduced the time spent on billing calculations by 90%.
- Improved Accuracy: Automation reduced errors that could happen with manual calculations.
- Faster Case Processing: Quicker calculations allowed the firm to close cases faster and improve client satisfaction.
Conclusion
DevRain’s AI-powered calculation engine transformed the firm’s billing process. The firm saved time and money by automating a complex and time-consuming task and provided better client service.
