Example Output
Input: Incident report showing employee injured by third-party contractor's faulty equipment, $150K medical + indemnity paid.
Output:
- Liable Parties: Contractor (70% negligence), Equipment Manufacturer (30%)
- Subrogation Potential: $105K–$135K (70% recovery on primary carrier)
- Recommended Action: Demand letter to contractor's insurer within 60 days; expect 40–50% settlement range ($45K–$70K) if disputed
- Timeline: 6–12 months negotiation; litigation adds 18–24 months
- Priority Rank: Tier 1 (high probability, moderate effort)
Input: Three-case portfolio: Case A ($200K indemnity, clear liability); Case B ($50K, shared negligence); Case C ($75K, uninsured defendant).
Output:
| Case | Priority | Est. Recovery | Effort Level | Months to Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Tier 1 | $140K–$160K | Low | 6–9 |
| B | Tier 2 | $20K–$30K | Medium | 12–15 |
