Personal injury practice management software should run a high-volume intake pipeline, record the limitation date the moment a matter opens, track case expenses the firm advances, and bill on a contingency basis when the case resolves. Because the firm is often paid only at the end, it also needs a clear view of what each case has cost.
LawAOS sets the fee arrangement per matter, and Contingency records the agreed percentage of recovery. The limitation-date calculator counts days, months or years from the accrual date, lets the user choose how closed days move, and stores the result as a real deadline with daily reminders. Expenses carry categories such as Filing fee, Expert fee, Court reporter and Copying, with billable and reimbursable flags.
Intake runs through public forms and a pipeline, with an AI lead score that quotes the signals it used. Every limitation rule is the firm's own responsibility, so the calculator takes the period the lawyer enters.
- Missed limitation dates
- A claim that is filed late may be lost. Recording the limitation date on the matter with reminders, and marking overdue deadlines as missed, keeps it in front of the team.
- Unrecorded case costs
- Experts, court reporters and filing fees add up across a long case. Recording each as an expense with a receipt makes it billable at the end.
- Slow intake
- Enquiries that wait for a call back go elsewhere. A pipeline with stages and activities shows which leads are waiting.
- Unclear case value
- Matter profitability reports show fees and costs per matter, so partners can see where the firm's time went.
Expenses move through Draft, Submitted, Approved, Rejected and Billed. Receipts are stored privately, and text extraction reads the receipt to help fill the form. Approved expenses post to the ledger, and billable ones appear as lines on the invoice when the case resolves.
Reimbursable expenses post to accounts payable, and the vendor payment is recorded when the firm pays it. Whether a firm may advance costs, and how they are recovered from a settlement, depends on its jurisdiction's rules, which the firm should check.

Stated plainly, so you can decide before you sign up rather than after.
- LawAOS has no medical-records retrieval, no settlement calculator and no settlement distribution statement.
- No limitation periods or court rules ship; the lawyer enters the period and the calculator does the date arithmetic.
- There is no automatic chasing of unpaid invoices; overdue invoices are flagged daily and staff send reminders.
- Intake forms are shared by link and cannot be embedded on the firm's website.
