LOS ANGELES – (PRNewswire) American Discovery, the global leader of legal document review and research services, today announced the expansion of its Insurance Litigation Practice Area. In response to its continued growth in serving major insurance carriers specializing in personal, commercial, and specialty lines, American Discovery is extending its capabilities with plans to hire 100 additional attorneys in the company's review offices in the U.S. and the Philippines.
With attorneys specializing in insurance litigation, the company provides dedicated legal teams to support client-specific matters. Results for insurers are improved timeliness and reduced legal spend. "Litigation can be one of the largest expenses in claim adjudication. Virtually every insurer, third-party administrator, and self-insured company is undertaking initiatives to reduce its litigation costs," stated Michael Ford, Executive Vice President of American Discovery. "American Discovery enhances the litigation process for corporate counsel, staff counsel, panel firms, and claims adjusters by improving efficiency of legal actions and enabling reduction of legal fees by an average of 80%."
The time and expense associated with attorney review or summarization can be excessive. As some carriers have up to 40,000 open claims, many are adopting new ways to reduce the costs and improve the structure of their legal departments. "The current expansion of our insurance practice is a direct result of our unique understanding of insurance litigation and claims combined with the initiatives of insurers to redefine their legal resources and cost structures," added Ford. "Whether working directly with the insured or the insurer, we have the infrastructure and resource scalability to become an increasingly valuable extension of their litigation team."
