In the current business environment, insurance claims defense litigation teams are expected to manage heavier caseloads than ever. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you and your colleagues must put in more hours or that you need to add more staff to the payroll. You can leverage technology to help your team work smarter, not harder.

An insurance claims litigation management (CLM) solution supports each of the key functions of your department, such as financial management, litigation analytics, and vendor management, to make sure you have the best counsel, get the best results, and pay the right price.

For example, an insurance CLM platform can:

  • Reduce claim litigation spending
  • Enhance tracking and monitoring of law firm performance
  • Provide complete visibility into financial trends that are important to you and the corporate management team.

The challenge is that the marketplace of technology offerings that are promoted as CLM solutions can be confusing. Some systems are off-the-shelf tools that were designed for other industries, some platforms are difficult to integrate with other third-party products such as Claims or AP systems, and of course there is a wide disparity in total cost of ownership. In addition to this confusing range of available products, the truth is that not all insurance industry users have the same level of experience with CLM tools.

For some claims litigation departments, the idea of purchasing a CLM platform may be a new concept for which they need to start from scratch—with an understanding of the array of options and price points in the marketplace. Other departments may find themselves in the position of having outgrown the technology they first acquired years ago.

So whether the time has come to shop for a new CLM tool or to find a platform for the first time, we have created a handy checklist of features that you should look for when selecting a solution for your company. The list is not exhaustive, and you will need to   determine which capabilities are most important for your unique needs, but this checklist is a good starting point to guide your purchasing path.

The checklist lays out a number of specific features to seek out within six key categories:

  1. Advanced Financial Management Tools
  2. Law Firm Management
  3. Robust Data Analytics
  4. Peer-to-Peer Benchmarking Insights
  5. Flexible Management Reports
  6. Claims Litigation Department Workflow
