Applicant Attorneys: Contingency Model

Handle 25% More Cases. Settle Them for More Money.

You carry 150–200 active cases and close approximately 95 per year. Each case generates 8–16 hours of mechanical work that doesn't require your expertise. Adjudica handles the mechanical. You handle the strategy.

The Volume Argument

The Constraint Is Hours, Not Cases

Every applicant attorney knows cases they should have taken but couldn't. Every attorney knows cases that settled for less because there wasn't time for deep analysis. Adjudica fixes both.

Break-even calculation

2–4 cases

Typically the first week of usage. At $4,088 revenue per case and $16,788 annual subscription, you need 4 additional cases to fully recover the cost, and you'll handle 24 more.

The Quality Argument

More Cases Is Not Enough. Better Settlements Are the Multiplier.

Volume alone is worth ~$98K/year in additional revenue. Volume plus quality analysis is worth $188K–$277K/year. The difference is what Adjudica enables, not just speed, but precision that was previously impossible without spending 4–6 hours per QME report.

Better Med-Legal Discussions

AI reads the entire QME/AME report and surfaces inconsistencies, WPI ratings that appear low, apportionment not supported by evidence, causation opinions contradicting treating physicians. Walk into every deposition with specific, page-cited questions.

WPI Identification & Verification

WPI ratings drive settlement values, a 2% difference can mean thousands in PD benefits. Adjudica cross-references the QME's findings against historical patterns and comparable cases from the Knowledge Base. AMA Guides (5th Ed.) deep integration available as a licensed add-on.

Apportionment Challenge Arguments

259+ cases in the Knowledge Base specifically addressing apportionment. Surface counter-arguments from successful applicant appeals. Flag opinions that lack the factual basis required by Escobedo v. Marshalls (2005). Reducing apportionment from 40% to 20% = $10K–$25K more PD.

Demand Letter Drafting

Settlement demands drafted with cited sources, specific QME pages, applicable Labor Code sections, PDRS calculations. A demand that requires 2–3 hours of manual drafting is reduced to 10–15 minutes of review and editing.

Built From the Inside

Built by a CA WC Attorney, for CA WC Attorneys

Alex Brewsaugh has practiced CA WC law for 15 years on both sides of the bar, defense and applicant. This dual-side experience is unusual. Most WC attorneys spend their careers on one side.

Adjudica was built to solve his own problem: the 70% of time on every case consumed by work that does not require a law degree. The product reflects this origin, its feature set maps directly to the tasks that consume attorney time, its workflow mirrors the way cases actually move through CA WC practice.

This is not a technology company that interviewed attorneys about their pain points. It is a law practice that built technology around it.
