Litigation Management & Settlement Strategy
Trajectories describe the observable direction of human effort — not a prediction about specific roles, headcount, or individual careers.
What You Do Today
Workers' comp litigation is a volume business with a substantial proportion attorney involvement in some states. You manage defense counsel panels, set settlement authority, attend mediations, and track outcomes. Settlement evaluates remaining medical exposure, PPD/PTD, vocational rehab, and Medicare compliance costs.

Roles Involved
How It Works
Predictive settlement models estimate optimal settlement range. NLP analyzes petitions, depositions, IME reports, and vocational reports. Defense counsel analytics track outcomes by attorney, jurisdiction, and case type. Budget monitoring compares actual legal spend against expected spend.
What Changes
Settlement authority is data-informed. Defense counsel selection is more data-driven. Litigation expense management improves. Settlement timing is optimized.
What Stays the Same
Settlement negotiation remains human. Mediation requires human participation. Workers' comp board hearings remain attorney-driven.
