Every Nexus Crash matter starts with crash report data. See what record-first sourcing means for your intake team and docket.
Most motor vehicle accident inquiries begin as a web form: a name, a phone number, and a line of free text. Everything a firm needs to know about the matter has to be rebuilt by intake after the fact. Was there an accident? When? Was anyone hurt? Was the caller at fault? Has another firm already signed them?
Nexus Crash reverses that order. Every matter starts with crash report data on a real, recent accident, and the facts that decide whether a matter is worth your time are confirmed before anyone reaches your firm. Here is what that feature is, and what if changes for your intake team, your attorneys and your marketing budget.
Nexus Crash works from crash report data supplied by a law-enforcement-owned data provider. Before any outreach takes place, each record is checked against the program criteria:
■ The accident was no more than three days old when its crash report data entered the program.
■ Emergency services responded, and the claimant was taken to a hospital or emergency facility.
■ The claimant was not at fault and has not hired an attorney for the accident.
■ The at-fault party has insurance coverage, and no bodily injury settlement has been paid.
■ The accident falls within your firm’s geography and campaign criteria.
Only records that pass move forward to outreach. Records that do not pass never reach your firm.
Record-first sourcing is not a technical detail. It shows up in the daily work of your intake team and in the quality of what your attorneys review.
■ Fewer dead-end calls. Every matter has an accident behind it, so your intake team stops spending hours on inquiries that were never real, never serious or never yours to win.
■ Severity from day one. Emergency response and hospital transport are required in every tier, so soft, low-value inquiries do not crowd your queue.
■ Disqualifiers removed up front. Fault, representation, coverage and prior settlement are checked before outreach, so your team confirms facts instead of discovering problems.
■ Earlier, fresher contact. The three-day limit is measured at data entry, which means outreach happens while the accident is recent and often before the claimant has started searching online.
■ A documented starting point. Your attorneys begin evaluation with accident facts already established, rather than with a caller’s recollection.
■ Budget that goes to real matters. When every matter is built on a record, marketing spend stops paying for the screening work that shared web inquiries push onto your firm.
Many lead vendors sell the same anonymous web inquiry to several firms at once. Whoever calls first may win the conversation, which turns intake into a race and pushes firms toward aggressive follow-up. Even the firm that wins often learns little about the matter until the second or third call.
Nexus Crash limits the number of firms in each territory, and a claimant who asks for legal help is introduced to one named firm. The matter is not shopped, and the facts are not left for your team to reconstruct.
Because the record comes first, intake becomes confirmation rather than discovery. Your team already knows the accident date, the response and transport, and how the matter fits your criteria. The conversation can focus on the person, their injuries and their questions, which is where a good intake team earns its value.
Each delivery also arrives with the claimant’s documented request for legal information and a recorded consent that names your firm, so the matter has a clear origin from the accident to your intake line.
Before committing budget to any MVA program, ask for written answers to these questions:
■ Where does each matter originate, and can you show the documentation?
■ How old can the accident be when it enters your program?
■ Which disqualifiers do you check before outreach, and which are left to my intake team?
■ Is the same inquiry offered to more than one firm?
■ What happens when a matter does not meet the agreed criteria?
A program built on the record should be able to answer each of these clearly. If a vendor cannot, your firm is the one absorbing the risk.
