How Does Electronic Service of Process Impact Personal Injury Cases?

Personal injury cases can be tough to handle – your clients likely have a lot of emotions and physical pain, making it more difficult for them to cope. That’s why ensuring their case moves along speedily and efficiently is paramount. 

When it comes time to serve papers, choosing the wrong methods can hinder the speed of your case. 

At Pro Legal, we use electronic service of process to help personal injury cases move forward at a quicker pace. E-service has fundamentally altered the landscape of legal document submission, enabling you and your clients to communicate more effectively and receive timely updates. 

E-service dramatically streamlines the delivery of many types of legal documents throughout the litigation process. 

Let’s examine how e-service affects personal injury cases. 

Accelerates Case Progression

E-service helps accelerate case progression in a number of ways, including: 

• Instantaneous and speedy delivery. Documents do not need to be printed, mailed, or physically delivered by a process service, allowing for direct transmission to opposing counsel or other parties who have consented to receive documents electronically. 

• Reduces delays associated with postal service, courier services, or repeated attempts at physical service. Accelerated document delivery can shorten the overall litigation timeline. 

• Expedites the exchange of discovery documents, such as large volumes of medical data, bills, and injury diaries, much more quickly. 

Increases Efficiency & Reduces Costs

E-service reduces the need for printing and copying documents, resulting in savings on paper, shipping, ink, and courier fees. This also means that there is less administrative labor involved with sending documents, and it provides up-to-date statuses automatically, rather than your legal assistant tracking things down. 

Another benefit is the reduced physical storage needed for all the copies of your documents. Digital files are much easier to store and keep safe on cloud-based storage systems. 

Enhances Communication & Collaboration

Another benefit of e-service is improved communication between attorneys. E-service facilitates a more immediate exchange of information, allowing for efficient negotiations and problem-solving. 

With an online portal, all filings and documents are stored electronically and can be accessed from anywhere, which improves internal collaboration and case management. 

In any type of case, client communication is essential, so the speed of e-service allows attorneys more time to communicate with their clients rather than chasing down documents.
