Workers' Comp and Personal Injury are included together in one subscription.

Put wage, treatment, and hearing readiness on one sourced case

For workers' compensation firms that need state-specific wage math, work status, medical development, board deadlines, and settlement posture to stay connected

Open the sample workers' comp brief →Read the intake-and-deadline workflow →See the Case Stress Test →

Verify the wage

AWW and rate inputs remain inspectable

Wage statements, employment facts, and state rules stay beside the attorney-reviewed calculation

Track the claim

Treatment and work status move together

Authorized care, restrictions, benefits, and proof gaps remain visible across the claim

Prepare resolution

Hearing and settlement work share the record

Issues, deadlines, liens, and settlement requirements remain tied to the sourced case

Free browser workpapers

Work through one file question before opening the client record

Each workpaper uses only the facts entered in that browser, shows the supported arithmetic or record check, and names what still needs attorney review.

What it does

CLAIM DEADLINE TRACKING

State deadlines and SOL countdowns, SMS at 90/60/30/14/7 days

Date-of-injury deadlines tracked for supported personal injury and workers comp workflows. SMS alerts fire at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days. Attorney verifies each deadline before relying on it.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

Gaps in care flagged before the adjuster finds them

Treatment timeline built from intake and uploads. Every provider visit logged with date, provider, and note. Gaps in treatment are surfaced before they become adjuster arguments.

MEDICAL RECORDS TRACKING

Every provider tracked: request sent, records received

Track every medical provider from not-requested through summarized. Record request dates, receipt dates, and review status. Gaps in the medical record flagged before the case goes to demand.

WORKERS' COMP CLAIM PIPELINE

Workers' comp claim status tracked per client

Workers' comp claim status, hearing dates, employer details, carrier information, and wage/medical proof tracked separately from any third-party injury claim.

WAGE LOSS CALCULATION

Pre-injury wage, weeks out, partial weeks, calculated

Wage loss calculated from employer documentation already in the case record. Pre-injury wage, total-out weeks, and partial disability weeks calculated separately. Attorney-verified before use in demand or filing.

FOLLOW-UP SEQUENCES

Consumer lead follow-ups, automated and logged

Automated follow-up sequences for consumer lead intake. Every touchpoint logged. Sequences are consumer-lead outreach only, not attorney-to-represented-client communication.

Scope and limits

Settlement worksheets reconcile attorney-approved figures with treatment, wage loss, liens, and demand history. You set valuation, negotiation range, settlement authority, and final demand; the supporting work stays source-linked and ready for review.

Lead follow-up carries prospective clients into intake, while the case workflow keeps treatment, wage loss, liens, demand packages, 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
✓Row-level security, you see only your clients
✓Client data stored in US regions (Supabase, AWS us-west-1)
✓Case activity history for supported actions
