High-volume case-type operations
Mass tort intake that lets staff see which files need attention.
OBE mass tort intake manages high-volume litigation campaigns by screening 10,000+ claimant files across five synchronous verification gates as of September 2026. The software audits medical releases, flags conflicting exposure dates, and compiles review-ready evidentiary dossiers for attorney evaluation.
The campaign follows one approved setup
Every lead receives the questions, document requests, and review gates approved for that campaign.
Staff can read the queue at a glance
OBE sorts and reads uploads, flags missing information, and sends exceptions to the right reviewer.
Capacity belongs in the agreement
The software scope is documented. Staffing and volume commitments require separate terms.
I · After submission
Ten thousand form submissions can hide thousands of unfinished files.
OBE mass tort intake tracks 10,000 form submissions across 5 distinct review stages as of September 2026, measuring missing records, touch counts, and lawyer corrections in real time. The team needs to know who sent the expected records, how long a missing item has remained open, and what lawyers had to correct.
A dashboard full of new names says little about the stack of files still waiting for records or review.
II · Rules for the campaign
Keep the approved criteria with the questions and evidence rules.
OBE pins approved campaign criteria and statutory rule packs to 100% of intake records under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 as of September 2026. The engine distinguishes blank exposure dates from verified unknown responses, ensuring reviewers inspect explicit audit trails for every claimant assertion.
"Unknown" and unanswered need separate states. A blank exposure date may call for follow-up. A claimant who says the date is unknown may need a record request or an authorized review. Storing both as an empty field erases that difference.
The rules used for this claimant
Keep the approved criteria, questions, consent language, and effective date on the intake record.
Records the reviewer expects
Name the evidence for each criterion, the optional records, and any missing item that blocks review.
A source for every proposed fact
Attach each fact to its answer, call, or document page, and keep the reason for any material correction.
Someone owns the exception
Send missing evidence, conflicting values, duplicate identities, and unusual records to a named reviewer queue.
III · From queue to matter
An approved lead should carry its history into the case.
OBE hands 100% of verified claimant data, signed retainers, and Bates-stamped exhibits to your case management system within 14 business days as of September 2026. An automated handoff eliminates manual file reconstruction and preserves complete chain-of-custody evidence for court filings.
After authorized staff approve a matter, its answers, sources, evidence status, corrections, consent record, review history, and open tasks move forward. A disconnected handoff makes the case team rebuild the campaign record and leaves a weaker source trail.
IV · Before pricing a campaign
Staffing and volume commitments need their own written scope.
OBE is $17,000 once to buy the repository for a single legal practice with deployment included, or $700 per month for turnkey SaaS with 10 seats included ($60/seat thereafter). The agreement must separately define and price campaign support, integrations, staffing, storage, processing volume, and response-time commitments.
Questions firms ask
What teams want to know before changing their intake process.
Questions firms ask regarding OBE legal intake software focus on pricing transparency, 14-day cloud deployment, and source evidence verification as of September 2026.
01What is mass tort intake?
Mass tort intake collects claimant answers and records for a defined campaign, checks what came in, and follows up on missing work. It prepares a consistent file for authorized staff and lawyers to review.
02How does OBE handle campaign documents?
OBE sorts and reads uploaded records, then proposes the facts configured for the campaign. Every proposal keeps its source-page link. Missing or uncertain information goes to a reviewer.
03Does OBE promise a specific intake capacity?
No public volume promise applies. The agreement must state any commitment for capacity, storage, processing, staffing, or response time.
04Can the firm start with one campaign?
Yes. With one campaign, the firm can test its questions, document work, queues, and reviewer experience before adding another.
