Medical Malpractice Case Evaluation Agent
Medical Malpractice Case Evaluation Agent
This AI agent initiates no-obligation case evaluations for visitors who believe they have been harmed by medical negligence. It collects details about the medical provider, treatment received, adverse outcome, and injury timeline, then delivers a pre-screened lead to your malpractice attorneys. Built for plaintiff firms that handle medical negligence, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and birth injury cases, where thorough initial screening determines whether a claim is worth pursuing.





Medical Malpractice Case Evaluation Agent
Medical malpractice firms that deploy AI-powered intake see significant improvements in case screening efficiency and lead quality.
Medical malpractice has one of the highest screening-to-retention ratios in legal practice. Firms typically review 50-100 enquiries for every case they accept. An AI agent that pre-screens each enquiry for basic viability indicators, such as identifiable deviation from care, documented injury, and active statute of limitations, ensures your attorneys focus review time on the strongest prospects. Firms report 25-40% reductions in time spent on non-viable initial reviews after deploying structured AI intake.
The cost of evaluating a medical malpractice enquiry is substantial because it requires paralegal or attorney time to assess medical details. At $75-150 per hour for paralegal review, screening 100 enquiries manually can cost $7,500-15,000 before a single case is accepted. An AI agent handles the preliminary screening at a fraction of that cost, capturing the structured information needed to quickly determine whether a deeper review is warranted.
Medical malpractice cases are time-sensitive. Injuries may worsen, memories fade, and statutes of limitations continue to run. The AI agent compresses the intake process from days of phone tag and form collection to minutes of structured conversation. With all relevant details captured upfront, attorneys can make initial accept-or-decline decisions 50-70% faster, allowing viable cases to move into active investigation sooner.

Capabilities specifically designed for the complex intake requirements of medical malpractice cases.
Medical malpractice claims require demonstrating that a healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. The agent asks targeted questions about what treatment the visitor expected based on their diagnosis, what treatment they actually received, and whether they were informed of risks. This structured approach captures the narrative elements that malpractice attorneys need to make an initial viability determination.
Medical malpractice statutes of limitations vary by state and often include discovery rules that extend or modify the filing deadline. The agent captures the dates of treatment and when the patient first became aware of the potential malpractice. This timeline data allows your team to quickly assess whether the claim is still within the applicable filing window, which varies from one to six years depending on the jurisdiction.
Medical malpractice enquiries involve deeply personal experiences: people describing surgeries that went wrong, diagnoses that were missed, or injuries to newborns. The agent uses empathetic, carefully worded language that acknowledges the visitor's situation before asking for clinical details. This approach increases completion rates and builds trust with potential clients who are often emotionally distressed.
Medical records are the foundation of any malpractice claim. The agent asks whether the visitor has obtained their medical records, whether they have documentation of the adverse outcome, and whether any formal complaints have been filed. This information tells your intake team how close the prospect is to being case-ready and what additional steps will be needed before an attorney can evaluate the claim in depth.

FAQs
The agent does not make legal determinations. Instead, it captures the structured information your attorneys need to make that assessment: the type of medical treatment, what went wrong, the resulting injury, treatment dates, and the healthcare provider involved. It flags cases with clear indicators of viability, such as documented injury and identifiable standard-of-care deviation, while still forwarding all enquiries for human review.
Yes. Tars integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho CRM directly. For legal-specific platforms like Clio, Litify, or SmartAdvocate, you can connect through Zapier and webhooks. Every screened lead includes the complete medical event details, injury information, timeline data, and the full conversation transcript, all structured for easy case evaluation.
Tars is SOC 2 compliant with all data encrypted in transit and at rest. While the intake conversation does not constitute a medical record and is not subject to HIPAA (as it is collected by a law firm, not a healthcare provider), the platform provides the security controls appropriate for handling sensitive health-related information in a legal intake context. You retain full ownership and control of all collected data.
Yes. The agent supports branching logic for all common malpractice categories: surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors, anesthesia complications, birth injuries, emergency room negligence, and hospital-acquired infections. Each branch asks questions specific to that claim type, so a birth injury enquiry captures different details than a surgical error claim.
The agent operates 24/7, capturing the same detailed intake information at any hour. This is particularly important for medical malpractice firms, where prospective clients often research their legal options late at night after leaving the hospital or receiving a troubling diagnosis. After-hours leads are queued for attorney review the following morning with full context and urgency flagging.
The agent captures the relevant dates, including treatment date, date the patient became aware of potential malpractice, and any prior legal actions. It does not make a legal determination about the statute, as discovery rules and tolling provisions vary by state. Instead, it flags the timeline information prominently so your intake team can make that assessment quickly during their review.
Completely. The Tars visual editor lets you add, remove, or modify any question in the conversation flow. If your firm specialises in birth injury and surgical error cases, you can create deeper, more detailed screening paths for those categories while keeping other malpractice types at a higher-level intake. All customisation is done through a no-code interface.
A paralegal can handle one call at a time during business hours. The AI agent handles unlimited concurrent conversations around the clock with consistent questioning quality. Most malpractice firms use the agent for initial structured screening and reserve paralegal time for detailed follow-up on promising cases. This approach lets a single paralegal cover 3-5x more incoming enquiries because the preliminary data gathering is already complete when they begin their review.
