A docket can look healthy on paper and still hide expensive problems beneath the surface. SMART Reviews performs independent docket reviews to identify fraudulent claims, validate medical eligibility, verify claimant information, and uncover patterns that put your investment at risk. The costliest cases aren’t the ones you lose: they’re the ones you should never have kept.
Know What’s Really in Your Portfolio
The biggest risk to your firm isn’t always the next case you buy: it’s often the questionable case that’s already sitting in your docket. As fraud has become increasingly sophisticated, many firms have inherited inventories containing coached claims, duplicate claimants, unsupported injuries, or cases that simply don’t meet litigation criteria. Every illegitimate claim diverts time, money, and attention away from a real victim with a legitimate injury.
Docket review is our service for evaluating your existing case inventory. Kate and team verify all claimant information, validate diagnoses and treatment history, identify fraudulent patterns, and determine whether each claim can withstand scrutiny. The result is a stronger, more defensible portfolio built on verified facts instead of assumptions, allowing your firm to allocate resources more effectively while protecting both your reputation and the integrity of legitimate claims.
A Docket Review Is For:
- Law firms with existing mass tort case inventories
- Firms concerned about fraudulent or coached claims
- Dockets acquired from third-party marketing partners
- Portfolios requiring medical validation and claimant verification
- Teams looking to reduce unnecessary operational costs
- Firms evaluating the overall health of their portfolio
- Practices committed to protecting docket integrity
- Law firms wanting insight into existing case inventories
Elements of Our Docket Review Process
Fraud Detection
Fraud rarely appears as a single obvious red flag. Our review looks for coached claimants, duplicate submissions, behavioral inconsistencies, conflicting information, and other patterns that may indicate a claim should not remain in your portfolio. By applying structured fraud detection protocols across your existing docket, SMART Reviews helps identify non-viable cases before they create additional financial, operational, or reputational risk.
Medical Validation
Every mass tort claim has specific medical criteria that must be satisfied. We verify reported diagnoses, treatment history, medical records, and supporting documentation to determine whether each claim aligns with the established requirements. This objective medical validation helps separate cases supported by evidence from those lacking sufficient documentation, giving your firm greater confidence in the strength and defensibility of its portfolio.
Client Verification
Strong cases begin with verified claimants. Kate and team independently confirm claimant identity, demographics, reported facts, and other key details while evaluating whether each case meets litigation criteria. We review information for consistency and verify relevant facilities or providers when appropriate. This verification process helps ensure your docket reflects legitimate, supportable claims rather than assumptions carried from the original intake.
Benefits of a Docket Review:
- Early identification of fraudulent and coached claims
- Objective medical validation by experienced professionals
- Reduced time spent on non-viable cases
- Better allocation of attorney and staff resources
- Stronger support for litigation and settlement decisions
- Improved protection against operational and reputational risk
- Evidence-based decisions backed by verified claimant information
- A stronger, more defensible docket built on legitimate claims
What Happens After the Docket Review
Once your docket review is complete, you receive a structured assessment of your portfolio rather than a simple list of reviewed files. SMART Reviews documents the status of every claim, explains the reasoning behind each recommendation, and provides the insight needed to make informed decisions about your existing case inventory.
Each reviewed case is assigned one of the following dispositions:
- Keep: Meets litigation criteria and remains a viable claim
- Release: Fails eligibility, medical validation, or viability standards
- Cannot Reach: Remains unresponsive despite repeated outreach attempts
- In Progress: Requires additional verification or supporting documentation
The value extends far beyond individual case decisions. Your review provides a clearer picture of the overall health of your docket, helping you identify trends, prioritize resources, and address potential risks before they become larger problems. With verified data instead of assumptions, you can move forward with a stronger, more defensible portfolio.
