How does LPM work?
 The system is utilized by defense counsel for supplying lawsuit information and billing. All data is entered by the law firm via the internet. Insurance company and/or client designees (as few or as many as desired) have full access to all information which is stored on a dedicated, completely secure server. The LPM process includes:
  • Segmenting Lawsuits Into Parts and Sub Parts - These are referred to as work products. No Coding Process.
  • Establishing a Budget - Fees and expenses for each whole case and work product are forecasted.
  • Planning - Work products are established with core information, such as necessity, priority and scheduled and actual dates of completion for each.
  • Billing - The firm creates and submits bills right on the LPM system by attaching each time entry and service description to the appropriate part.
  • Tracking - LPM automatically tracks staff, case progress, time, billed and incurred hours, fees and expenses for each product, each activity, each whole case and groups of cases.
  • Working Together - Company litigation supervisors and their attorneys work together over the internet to monitor case progress and billing, assisted by distinct blueprints created by LPM.

What special equipment is needed? 
Companies and their designated counsel, will not be required to purchase or utilize any specialized computer equipment or hardware. LPM functions at acceptable levels on any type of computer that has internet connection capabilities regardless of connection source or provider (i.e. modems, isp, Ti or greater, ISDN, cable, DSL, etc.). Obviously, the better and more advanced the connection source and computer, the better the LPM system's speed will be. It is strongly recommended that Internet Explorer, 4.0 or higher, or Netscape 4.0, or higher, be used as the browser.

How long does training take? 
Although LPM is a highly sophisticated internet database program, it has been carefully designed for ease of use. Anyone with a claims or legal background can effectively use the system without any training at all. But for maximum efficiency, and to take advantage of the wide range of tools provided by LPM, training for the entire system can be accomplished in as little as a half a day!
