When Schwartzapfel Lawyers, a leading personal injury law firm in New York, approached us about streamlining their medical record review process, they faced a common challenge: maintaining thoroughness while improving efficiency. Their team was spending countless hours manually reviewing medical records, yet still worried about missing crucial details that could impact case values.

The Challenge

Schwartzapfel Lawyers was handling hundreds of cases simultaneously, with each case requiring extensive medical record review. Their traditional review process presented several challenges:

Manual review taking 10+ hours per case
Risk of missing critical information in lengthy records
Difficulty maintaining consistency across different reviewers
Limited ability to quickly search and reference specific details

Before LlamaLab, our team spent 10+ hours per case reviewing medical records. Despite our thoroughness, we always wondered if we might have missed something important.
