Legal Intake
The Problem
For personal injury law firms like ACME Legal, every inbound call is a potential case, and every intake conversation matters. Yet, the reality is that these firms are inundated with accident inquiries every single day. Intake teams are often the first point of contact, responsible for capturing the details that will make or break a case: what happened, who was involved, and whether the caller even qualifies for legal help. These are sensitive, information-rich conversations that require patience, empathy, and precision.
Unfortunately, managing this process manually comes with real challenges. High call volumes can overwhelm even the best-trained staff, leading to long hold times, rushed conversations, and ultimately, missed opportunities. Intake specialists may struggle to keep pace, and important information can fall through the cracks, resulting in incomplete records and slower case processing. For law firms, this isn’t just an operational headache; it’s a risk to client experience, revenue, and reputation.
Bland helps solve this challenge with conversational AI voice agents tailored for legal intake. Hosted securely and built for sensitive client interactions, Bland’s agents guide callers through structured, empathetic conversations, gathering the critical information needed to move cases forward quickly and efficiently.
The Solution
Here’s how it works:
When a potential client calls, Bland’s voice agent, Jennifer, greets them warmly and introduces the purpose of the call in simple, approachable language. The agent uses Bland’s proprietary Conversational Pathways to ensure a natural flow while staying on track with required data points.
Jennifer first verifies the caller’s readiness and sets a relaxed conversational tone. Once the caller is comfortable, Jennifer transitions into asking about the purpose of the trip at the time of the accident. The agent then walks the caller through a comprehensive recounting of the accident. Using a guided but open-ended questioning strategy, Jennifer captures key details: the sequence of events, involved parties, vehicle descriptions, and license plate information. Bland’s pathways are designed to prompt for more information if initial answers are vague, ensuring high-quality intake without making the client feel interrogated.
Next, Jennifer confirms whether a police report was filed. If the caller is unsure, the pathways gracefully handle uncertainty without pressuring the user. Then, Jennifer inquires if the caller was working at the time of the accident and follows up to determine whether a workers' compensation claim is relevant.
The Result
Finally, Jennifer checks if the caller’s vehicle was towed, gathering towing company information if available or, if necessary, noting uncertainty.
Throughout the interaction, Bland’s conversational design prioritizes empathy, subtle confirmations, and minimal repetition. Jennifer uses natural affirmations ("mm-hmm," "okay") to create an active listening environment, adapting fluidly to interruptions or clarifications.\Once the conversation concludes, all collected data, including accident details, working status, and towing information, is automatically structured and sent back to ACME Legal’s CRM or case management systems via webhook integrations.
