What you get with DocketBuddy

01 · Pricing

One price that covers the practice

$99 a month covers workers' comp and every other practice area, unlimited matters, and 2 additional seats. There are no per-case fees and no AI add-on charges.

02 · Sources

Every figure shows its source

Limitation and notice periods come from the state statute with a link, and only verified states show a figure. When a state is not verified, DocketBuddy says so instead of guessing.

03 · Client documents

Clients send what you asked for

DocketBuddy checks each upload against the request, tells the client exactly what is still missing, and sends conflicting facts to you.

Fictional example

Requested
Pay stubs from before the injury
Received
Two pay stubs from May
Next request
“Please send your pay stubs from March and April. We have the two from May.”

What it does

CLAIM DEADLINE TRACKING

State deadlines and SOL countdowns, SMS at 90/30/14/7 days

Date-of-injury deadlines tracked for supported personal injury and workers comp workflows. SMS alerts fire at 90, 30, 14, and 7 days. Attorney verifies each deadline before relying on it.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

Gaps in care flagged before the adjuster finds them

Log each provider visit with date, provider, and note. Gaps between visits are flagged automatically.

MEDICAL RECORDS TRACKING

Every provider tracked: request sent, records received

Track every medical provider from not requested through summarized, with request dates, receipt dates, and review status.

DEMAND DRAFTS

Demand drafts built from the case record

Draft a demand letter from the treatment timeline, medical bills, wage loss, and confirmed liens. You set the demand amount and approve every word.

WORKERS' COMP CLAIM PIPELINE

Workers' comp claim status tracked per client

Track workers' comp claim status, carrier, and adjuster separately from any third-party claim.

WAGE LOSS CALCULATION

Past and future wage loss, calculated for review

Enter the pre-injury wage, days missed, and benefits paid to calculate past and future wage loss for your review.

Before you plan around medical records: DocketBuddy does not currently offer a BAA or claim a HIPAA-compliant environment. Medical records must not be uploaded until a supported agreement is in place. See how client data is handled

Scope and limits

The settlement worksheet starts from the figures you approve. You set valuation, negotiation range, settlement authority, and the final demand.

New inquiries from your intake form reach your inbox and your dashboard, and the case keeps treatment, wage loss, liens, demand drafts, and settlement activity together after engagement.

Where DocketBuddy stops matters

Automate the routineSurface the evidenceKeep judgment with the attorney

DocketBuddy separates governing authority from matter evidence, shows where each important fact came from, and keeps attorney review between the analysis and anything sent or filed.

Explore coverage evidence →See security and privacy →

Authority posture in view

When a workflow applies a legal rule, its citation, source status, and jurisdiction stay close enough to verify before relying.

Matter evidence stays separate

Uploaded documents, client answers, and attorney-entered facts keep distinct labels and preserve their source context.

Uncertainty stays visible

Missing, stale, or conflicting proof remains a clear item for attorney review instead of disappearing inside generated work product.

Client data stays protected

✓TLS in transit; AES-256 at the database layer
✓Each firm sees only its own records
✓Client data stored in US regions (Supabase, AWS us-west-1)
✓Case activity history for supported actions
