How a Mass Tort Firm Organized 10,000+ Plaintiff Documents in 48 Hours

Mass-tort litigation generates document volume that breaks traditional case management. At the start of a new campaign, the firm in this story had to onboard over 10,000 plaintiffs — each with retainers, fact sheets, medical records, and questionnaires arriving daily.

The Old Way Would Have Taken Months

Hiring temporary paralegals to file and tag every document was the obvious option. It would have taken three months of full-time work, cost the firm into the six figures, and introduced filing errors that would surface during discovery.

What They Did Instead

The firm moved all intake into the Docktix Work Drive with AI document classification turned on. Every uploaded record was automatically tagged with plaintiff identity, document type, and case stage. Paralegals reviewed exceptions instead of filing every document.

• 10,000 plaintiffs onboarded in under 48 hours
• 85% reduction in misfiling errors
• Real-time partner dashboard showing onboarding progress per cohort
• Bulk discovery export ready on day one

Why This Pattern Generalizes

The same approach works for any high-volume PI workflow — single-event mass torts, product liability, or class actions. The key is that intake automation, document classification, and structured case management all live on the same platform. The integration is what makes the speed possible.
