Receive Accident Inquiries While Attorneys Are Occupied

Your receptionist takes prospective-client calls while attorneys and intake staff are unavailable. It gathers the information your firm requests, flags urgency, and offers a consultation or callback without evaluating the claim.

Call recordsReceive summaries and urgency tags through email and app push notifications.

A personal injury law firm answering service gives an accident caller a defined intake path when your staff cannot answer. Your receptionist can ask the questions you set, take a message, and move the request toward a consultation. It does not decide whether the caller has a case or what a claim could be worth.

Choose overflow coverage during busy periods, calls outside office hours, or forwarding for all calls. Your team receives the intake record so the person returning the call can see what was requested. Explore our legal intake process for the sequence from names to attorney review.

Collect Names First, Then Arrange the Review

The receptionist discloses its virtual-assistant role and recording notice before intake. It collects parties' names, asks your approved accident questions, and follows your booking or urgent-contact instructions for the next step.

Identify the partiesAsk for names before inviting the caller to describe the accident.
Limit the questionsFollow your intake instructions without attempting to evaluate fault or damages.
Arrange the handoffBook a review, take a message, or contact your designated attorney.

A fictional caller might describe a car accident and ask whether your firm can help. Your receptionist first gathers parties' names, then the limited facts your office has chosen for intake. A question about whether the caller has a case goes to an attorney for review.

If the request fits your booking instructions, the receptionist can arrange a consultation in Google Calendar. When your urgency rules call for an attorney, it can offer a warm transfer with a short summary before acceptance. The call does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the receptionist states that boundary plainly.

Define Accepted Matters, Questions, and Booking Preferences

You supply your firm's practice boundaries, intake questions, consultation policy, and escalation contacts. Your receptionist uses those instructions and your website to receive calls as your firm without setting its own acceptance criteria.

Matter boundariesExplain the injury matters your firm handles and the services it excludes.
Intake scopeSet the accident questions staff need answered before they return the call.
Escalation orderSpecify urgent situations and which attorney receives the first transfer attempt.

Use the onboarding chat to describe your services, service area, hours, and consultation policy. If callers ask about fees, your receptionist uses only the policy you provided. Keep the accident questions focused on what your team needs to arrange an attorney review.

Your dashboard holds call records, usage, and settings, and you can change instructions in plain words. Before forwarding business calls, test a new inquiry, an existing client asking for an update, and a request outside your practice. Check the summaries as well as the spoken conversation so the intake employee can assess the handoff.

Leave Case Merit, Compensation, and Deadlines to Attorneys

Your receptionist does not assess fault, estimate compensation, or answer legal deadline questions. It gathers a request for attorney review and explains that making the call does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

No case evaluationAn attorney reviews whether the firm can assist with the matter.
No outcome promisesThe receptionist does not estimate recovery or predict a claim's result.
No deadline guidanceQuestions about legal time limits are left for your attorney.

An accident intake conversation is information gathering for your firm. If someone asks what a claim is worth or whether they should take a legal step, the receptionist takes a message for attorney review. Collecting parties' names begins your conflict-review process; it does not clear a conflict or confirm that your firm will accept the matter.

Your firm remains responsible for supervising the tool and reviewing its output. Direct practice-management connections are not live at launch, so staff enter the summary into their own records. You can read how call information is handled when deciding the scope of your intake questions.

Try the Accident Scenario Before Forwarding Your Calls

The browser demo includes a fictional car-accident intake and a question about case merit. Try both, then request a free trial to test your firm's actual instructions and consultation handoff.

Accident scenarioUse made-up parties to hear the conflict-first intake sequence in practice.
Case questionAsk whether you have a case and hear the attorney-review response.
Trial reviewDuring your requested trial, check booking, summaries, and your escalation route before directing business calls.

Speak to the fictional accident receptionist without creating an account. Try describing an accident before giving names, then ask whether the firm will take the case. Listen for the intake order and the distinction between booking a review and accepting representation.

You can request a free trial for intake; we'll email your sign-in link when the trial is ready, followed by an onboarding chat. The free trial will last 14 days with 100 minutes included, and a card will be required before forwarding becomes active. Use the forwarding guide, place a test call, and review the message with your intake staff before putting your chosen call coverage into use.

Questions

Does the receptionist decide whether an injury caller has a case?

No. It does not evaluate case merit, determine fault, or estimate compensation. Your receptionist takes the limited details your firm requests and explains that an attorney will review the inquiry and get back to the caller. It can book a consultation under your instructions, but that appointment does not mean your firm has accepted representation.

What does names-first accident intake mean?

The receptionist asks for parties' names before gathering accident details so your team can begin its conflict review. Your firm chooses which additional facts to collect after that opening step. The AI does not search your internal case records or clear conflicts; your staff decide whether and how the conversation should proceed.

Can it book an initial consultation during the call?

Yes. Your receptionist can book into Google Calendar under the consultation instructions you provide. If an intake employee should review the request first, it can collect callback information instead. Set your booking preference during onboarding and test what a prospective client hears when asking for an appointment, a fee, or confirmation of representation.

How do intake staff receive accident messages?

Each call produces an email and app push alert with a summary and urgency tag. The dashboard provides transcripts and recordings when recording is enabled, and a daily digest arrives by email. Staff can review those records and enter the information they need into their practice-management system; direct software connections are not available at launch.

Can we use our existing number for overflow calls?

Yes. You keep your business number and forward the calls you choose to the local number we provide. Your options include busy, unanswered, after-hours, or all calls. A carrier or phone-system guide and a test call help you check forwarding before using the receptionist for the coverage your firm has selected.

What happens when an accident caller describes a medical emergency?

The receptionist tells the caller to hang up and call 911 right now, then alerts your firm. It is not an emergency service and does not give medical or legal advice. For other urgent requests, your firm's escalation instructions determine whether the receptionist offers a warm transfer to the attorney on call or pages your designated contact.
