How personal injury law firms automate lead intake, qualification, consultation booking, and retainer signing with AI. Built for PI attorneys tired of losing high-value cases to missed calls and slow follow-up.
Personal injury attorneys have a narrow window. Miss the first call, and the client signs with someone else. Most PI law firms lose more cases to slow response times than they lose to weak legal arguments.
The AI answers every call instantly. It qualifies the lead, books consultations directly into your calendar, and sends follow-up texts with case information and retainer links.
The AI uses a rules engine to score every lead in real-time. High-priority cases are routed to senior attorneys immediately. Low-value leads are still tracked but deprioritized.
Every lead flows through four stages: New Lead → Qualified → Consultation Set → Retainer Signed. Attorneys see the full pipeline and can prioritize based on case value and urgency.
After intake, the AI sends a sequence of SMS messages that confirm details, remind about consultations, and deliver retainer links. No follow-up is forgotten.

An AI intake system for a personal injury law firm is an automated process that receives incoming inquiries from potential clients — via web form, missed call notification, chat, or SMS — immediately contacts the inquirer with a response message, uses AI to evaluate the inquiry against the firm's case acceptance criteria, routes viable cases to a live intake specialist with a case summary, and places inquiries that do not immediately reach a specialist into an automated follow-up sequence. The system operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so potential clients who submit an inquiry at 11 PM on Sunday receive the same speed of response as those who call during business hours.
The AI evaluates each inquiry against configurable qualification criteria: injury type (auto accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice, workers' comp, mass tort — the firm configures which types they accept), at-fault party identifiability (does the inquirer know who caused the injury), insurance coverage signals (did the at-fault party have insurance, or does the inquirer have uninsured motorist coverage), statute of limitations status (when did the injury occur relative to the jurisdiction's filing deadline), geographic jurisdiction (is the incident location within the firm's practice jurisdiction), and injury severity indicators (medical treatment sought, hospitalization, ongoing symptoms). Inquiries that meet threshold criteria on all factors are classified as high-value and routed immediately.
When a call comes in after hours and is not answered, the call tracking platform sends a missed call notification to n8n. The system immediately sends a personalized SMS to the caller acknowledging the missed call, expressing interest in their inquiry, and asking them to respond with a brief description of their situation or to book a call at a specific time. Callers who respond to the SMS are routed through the qualification flow. Callers who do not respond receive follow-up SMS messages at configured intervals over the next 48 hours.
From a typical personal injury web form, the AI extracts: incident type and date, jurisdiction (state and city where the incident occurred), at-fault party description, injury type and medical treatment sought, contact information, and any insurance information provided. The AI supplements this with classification of the inquiry's urgency — a recent accident with ongoing medical treatment is higher urgency than an inquiry about an incident from two years ago approaching the statute of limitations. The case summary delivered to the intake specialist includes all extracted information plus the AI's qualification assessment.
Yes. The routing logic is configurable by case type. Auto accident inquiries can route to the specialist who handles auto cases. Medical malpractice inquiries can route to the medical intake specialist. Mass tort inquiries (mesothelioma, talc, Camp Lejeune) can route to a separate team or co-counsel referral pipeline. Workers' compensation inquiries can route to the WC intake team. Each routing rule includes a primary recipient and a backup recipient for when the primary is unavailable.
Inquiries that are clearly outside the firm's practice criteria — wrong jurisdiction, statute of limitations expired, no identifiable at-fault party — are handled with a pre-configured decline message that is courteous and includes a referral to the state bar referral service or a specific competing firm if the firm has a referral reciprocal arrangement. The decline is sent automatically without requiring a staff member to evaluate and respond. All declined inquiries are logged with the decline reason for reporting.
The system integrates with Clio, Filevine, MyCase, Litify, Needles Neos, and SmartAdvocate via their respective APIs. When a case is retained, a new matter or case record is created in the case management system automatically with all intake information populated. The lead's contact record in GoHighLevel is updated with the case number and a link to the matter in the case management system. For firms without a supported CMS, intake data is exported to a structured Google Sheets record.
Web form submission, missed call notification, chat transcript, or SMS triggers the n8n workflow with the inquiry data.
Within 60 to 90 seconds of inquiry receipt, a personalized SMS and email are sent to the potential client acknowledging their inquiry and setting expectations.
OpenAI reviews the inquiry content against the firm's configured case acceptance criteria — injury type, jurisdiction, SOL status, at-fault party, insurance signals — and produces a qualification assessment.
High-value cases trigger an immediate Slack alert to the on-call intake specialist with the full case summary. Qualified cases enter the automated follow-up sequence. Out-of-criteria cases receive the configured decline message.
The alerted specialist calls the potential client within minutes with the AI-generated case summary already in hand — no re-screening required, just verification and engagement.
When a case is signed, the intake data creates a new matter record in Clio, Filevine, or the configured CMS. The GoHighLevel contact is updated with the case number and moved to a retained client pipeline.
