How Much Time Can Your Firm Save? The Demand Letter ROI Calculator
Personal injury firms win by moving files efficiently. This post gives you a simple, practical way to quantify the impact of Legal Power AI on throughput and margin.
The Baseline: Manual Drafting
- Records review & chronology: 3–6 hours
- Drafting & formatting: 2–4 hours
- Attorney polish & approval: 1–2 hours
Typical total: 6–12 hours per demand (varies with complexity).
With Legal Power AI
- Upload & processing to first draft: ~20 minutes
- Attorney review & edits: 60–120 minutes (case dependent)
- Optional regenerations to refine tone/sections (included with each execution)
Quick ROI Formula
Hours Saved per Case = (Manual Hours) − (AI Draft Time + Review Time)
Example: If your manual average is 8h, and your AI flow averages ~2h (20 min draft + 100 min review), you save ≈6 hours per case.
Team-Level Impact
- Monthly capacity: (Hours saved per case × cases/month) ÷ average staff hour cost.
- Backlog relief: Use the saved hours to clear older files or invest in higher-value litigation tasks.
- Consistency: Structured drafts reduce variance between drafters, compressing QA time.
How to Measure in Your Firm (2-Week Pilot)
- Pick 5 mixed-complexity cases (MVA, premises, soft-tissue).
- Track time for upload → first draft → final letter.
- Record adjuster response time and first offer quality.
- Compare against last quarter’s manual cases.
Checklist to Max Out ROI
- Upload complete, legible records (avoid shadowed scans).
- Add a short client background paragraph to strengthen non-economic damages.
- Batch edits, then regenerate once (instead of many tiny regenerations).
