VALUE CREATED BY USING VIEWFI (Aligned Incentives)
This calculator quantifies five key areas where ViewFI creates value for law firms:
- Quantify cost of weakened case due to delay in treatment
- Quantify difference in settlement amount due to an MD vs Chiro or Non-MD
- Quantify cost of losing case to another attorney due to inability to get rapid treatment
- Quantify medical record retrieval cost for law firms / ViewFI can assume responsibility as a provider
- Quantify cost of case manager time spent searching for providers
1) Delays in Care Can Significantly Hurt or Ruin a Personal Injury Claim
Why Delays Are Damaging:
- Causation becomes unclear – If it takes days or weeks to get diagnosis/treatment, insurance companies argue the injury wasn’t serious or wasn’t caused by the accident.
- “Gap in treatment” argument – Delays allow the defense to claim the injury was pre-existing or unrelated, reducing or eliminating liability.
- Lower perceived damages – Pain and suffering and medical costs may be considered minimal if treatment wasn’t urgent.
- Insurance skepticism – Insurance adjusters may be less sympathetic if it looks like the plaintiff didn’t take their injuries seriously.
Key Insight: Informal estimates suggest up to 30% of weak or denied claims have some issue with delayed diagnosis and treatment. Insurance adjusters and juries tend to view prompt medical attention as a sign that the injury was serious, directly linked to the incident, and worthy of compensation.
Financial Impact Analysis:
| Median Settlement Amount in PI Cases | |
| Attorney % | % |
| Net to Attorney / Firm | $8,250 |
| Monthly Case Volume | |
| Cases Lost / Written Off due to delay in care | % |
| Cases Lost per Month | 3 |
| Revenue Lost for Law Firm per Month | $24,750 |
| Annual Lost Revenue | $297,000 |
2) VALUE OF USING AN MD FOR DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT PLANNING
| Provider Type | Typical Settlement Range | Perceived Credibility |
|---|---|---|
| MD (e.g., ER doctor, orthopedist, neurologist) | $50,000 – $500,000+ (depending on injury) | High – seen as authoritative and objective |
| Chiropractor only | $2,500 – $25,000 (sometimes higher) | Lower – insurers may view as biased or less reliable |
| Mixed (MD + chiro/PT) | $25,000 – $100,000+ | Moderate to High – depending on MD role and treatment plan |
Example: A soft-tissue back injury with only chiropractic care may settle for $8,000–$15,000, while the same injury with a documented diagnosis from an orthopedist plus physical therapy could settle for $25,000–$60,000 or more.
