Personal injury smartphone app set to move into industrial disease market
Having the right technology to hand is designed to make all the difference for those looking to pursue a Personal Injury claim with regards to an industrial disease case.
Well, that’s the thinking (and applied logic) behind Manchester-based legal firm, Aequitas announcing that it’s extending its unique inCase app with one eye on the potentially impending introduction of fixed fee Industrial Disease Claims.
Dedicated to staying ahead of the game if and when this happens, Aequitas legal’s MD, Sucheet Amin has further developed his pioneering smartphone app to accommodate these slated changes, ending up with an easy-to-facilitate mobile platform which affords users byte-size guidance at every turn of their specific industrial disease case.
As www.lawgazette.co.uk rightly points out, such mobile technology provisions marks an industry first, with the original bit of kit launched in 2015 and aimed at the Personal Injury Claims market here in the UK.
However in its latest iteration, the inCase app has been according tweaked to extend its perceived usage into the conveyancing sector, the enveloping of which will ensure that it’s destined to receive even wider coverage. It’s inventor sees that the time is right to roll-out the inCase app’s broader potential, acknowledging increased demands on specialist law companies in light of the proliferation of industrial disease claims, with Amin confirming that some 18 legal practices and a total of 400 lawyers have subscribed to the mobile app at this juncture.
Easy-to-use App Will Afford Users Greater Access to Personal Injury Claims, and Put Data at Their Fingertips
The way in which the inCase tool has been designed to use means that it’s in tune with each law firm’s individual case management system, which Amin himself explained to Law Gazette recently. Amin; “By integrating the ability to send messages and documents to a client directly into the case management system, the ease at which lawyers can communicate with their clients is dramatically improved,” he said.
Provided to interested parties as part of a licence agreement between the app creator and clients, costing depend largely on the number of employees as opposed to the volume of clients who frequent it according to Amit. Also reducing a Personal injury lawyer’s carbon footprint as part of the more tech-savvy process proffered (think along the lines of the trimming of print and postage costs), the inCase app comes with a monthly charge which starts from £450 plus VAT. And by way of personalising the app for individual companies use, the app’s graphic look and feel can altered to be teamed in the more corporate colours of the client.
With the Government making rash promises about significant reforms to the current legislation surrounding personal injury claims (of the smaller stature at least), coupled with the new challenges which have subsequently arisen on the back of the recent fettling of the fixed-fee scheme offered under Legal Aid, Amin devised the inCase tech back in 2012.
Yet it’s the nearing advent of the former change which prompted him to expand the reach of the app here and now. For its part, a sizeable amount of insurance providers have done little to disguise their enthusiasm for the ushering in of fixed fees in relation to noise-induced hearing loss claims amongst a raft of mooted changes which are afoot, whilst companies dealing with these cases are likely to face increased pressure to bring costs down.
