Client Evidence Engine for Workers' Compensation

Every day your client lives with their injury is a day of evidence. Start capturing it.

Insurers bet on gaps — between doctor visits, between good days and bad, between what your client experiences and what the record shows. Affiant closes every one.

Your workers' comp clients document functional limitations, pain levels, and daily impact continuously, contemporaneously, and under your direction. When the IME examiner, the surveillance PI, or the employer's RTW letter says your client is fine, you'll have months of timestamped, structured evidence that says otherwise.

Malingering Defense

When the insurer says your client is faking it, hand them three months of daily functional data.

The core dynamic of every contested workers' comp claim: the insurer or employer argues the claimant is exaggerating. They build this narrative from gaps — the weeks between doctor visits where the only "evidence" is the client's own memory.

  • Specific functional limitation tracking. Clients document measurable restrictions every day. Not vague complaints — structured, quantifiable data points that map directly to disability criteria.
  • Pain and symptom pattern documentation. Structured surveys capture pain levels, flare-up triggers, medication effects, and symptom variability. The longitudinal record demonstrates consistency that no one-time exam can replicate.
  • Daily life impact capture. Sleep disruption hours, inability to perform household tasks, missed family activities, dependency on others. The human dimension of the injury, documented in real time.
  • Multimedia evidence. Photos of swelling, videos of limited range of motion, audio descriptions of daily challenges. Multi-format documentation that brings the record to life at hearing.

Independent Medical Exam Defense

The IME examiner spent 20 minutes with your client. You have 90 days of daily-documented evidence.

The IME is the insurer's most reliable weapon. A hand-picked examiner spends 15-30 minutes with your client and produces a report contradicting months of treatment — and without counter-evidence, that report carries devastating weight.

  • Months of daily functional data. When the IME examiner says your client has full range of motion, you have 90+ daily entries documenting consistent restrictions. Timestamped. Structured. Contemporaneous.
  • Pain pattern records that expose snapshot bias. The IME captures one moment. Your record captures every day — including the flare-ups, the bad weeks, the persistent variability that tells the real story.
  • Pre-IME baseline evidence. Documentation that exists before the exam eliminates any argument that limitations were fabricated or exaggerated in response to the examiner's findings.
  • PDF-ready comparison exhibits. Generate side-by-side charts showing daily-documented limitations vs. IME findings — functional capacity timelines and activity restriction summaries that make contradictions visually undeniable to hearing officers.

Surveillance Defense

The insurer's PI filmed your client carrying groceries. Your client already documented that day — and the three days of back spasms that followed.

Surveillance is the insurer's gotcha play: catch the claimant on a good day doing something physical, then argue malingering. It works because most claimants have zero documentation of daily variability.

  • Daily variability is already documented. Structured surveys capture the natural ups and downs of injury recovery every single day. Good days are part of the record, alongside the debilitating ones. Surveillance footage of activity on a documented good day proves your client was honest.
  • Activity context eliminates cherry-picking. Clients document what they attempted and the physical cost: "carried one bag of groceries, paid for it with 3 hours of back spasms." The surveillance shows the grocery trip. Your record shows the aftermath.
  • Pre-surveillance documentation defeats fabrication arguments. Every entry is timestamped and locked at submission. The documentation was created before the client learned of the surveillance, eliminating any claim that limitations were invented after the client was caught on camera.
  • No backdating, no revision. Entries are fixed once submitted. Clients cannot see prior submissions. The record is authentic, and cross-examination on consistency becomes your ally.

Return-to-Work Defense

The employer wants the claim closed. The insurer wants to cut TTD. Your client's daily functional record says they're not ready.

Premature return-to-work pressure is one of the most damaging tactics in workers' comp. The employer pushes to get the worker back. The insurer backs them to cut temporary total disability payments. Your client is caught in the middle — and their only evidence is their own word against an employer-friendly FCE.

  • Job duty gap analysis. Clients document which specific job duties they cannot perform and why. Standing tolerance documented at 12 minutes when the job requires 4-hour shifts on their feet. Grip strength deficits documented daily when the job requires manual material handling.
  • Physical limitation tracking against job requirements. Daily documentation of lifting capacity, standing tolerance, repetitive motion limitations, and positional restrictions — all mapped against the physical demands of the client's actual job duties.
  • Recovery trajectory evidence. Show that improvement is occurring but incomplete. Counter the "you should be better by now" argument with daily data showing the actual pace of recovery, including setbacks and plateaus invisible between monthly physician visits.
  • Post-attempt setback documentation. When clients attempt light duty and experience worsening symptoms, the deterioration is captured immediately — not recalled weeks later at a hearing. Real-time documentation of RTW failure is devastating to the employer's premature clearance argument.

TTD/TPD/PPD Evidence

Daily functional data gives hearing officers the evidence to get the disability rating right.

The difference between TTD and TPD, between a 30% rating and a 60% rating — these determinations control your client's income and future. Yet they're typically made based on periodic physician assessments and single-point FCEs that capture a fraction of actual functional reality.

  • Daily functional limitations map to disability categories. When your client documents that they cannot stand for more than 15 minutes, cannot lift more than 5 pounds, and cannot grip with their dominant hand — every day, for months — you have evidence that maps directly to specific disability percentages.
  • Temporal evidence for temporary vs. permanent. Daily documentation over months shows whether limitations are resolving, plateauing, or permanent. The distinction becomes a data question, not a battle of expert opinions.
  • Total vs. partial supported by daily activity data. Documentation of what clients can and cannot do each day — including partial capacity, attempted activities, and consequences — provides granular evidence for distinguishing total from partial disability.
  • Trend analysis for maximum medical improvement. Longitudinal data showing functional plateau supports or challenges MMI determinations. When the insurer pushes for MMI to cut benefits, your daily record shows whether the client has actually stabilized.

Close the Insurer's Favorite Loophole

Kill the "your client isn't following treatment" argument with automated compliance tracking.

Non-compliance is the insurer's easiest denial lever. Missed a PT appointment? The insurer argues the client isn't serious about recovery — and uses the gap to deny or reduce benefits.

  • Appointment tracking and reminders. Upcoming appointments are tracked within the platform. Clients receive reminders. When an appointment is completed, it's documented. When one is missed, you know immediately.
  • Dashboard alerts for compliance gaps. Your firm dashboard flags missed appointments, medication gaps, and therapy lapses the moment they happen. Intervene immediately to help your client stay on track.
  • Medication and therapy adherence documentation. Clients document medication compliance and therapy exercise completion as part of their daily entries. The compliance record builds automatically alongside functional limitation data.
  • Gap explanation capture. When gaps do occur, the reason is documented contemporaneously. Transportation issues, flare-ups that prevented attendance, scheduling conflicts — captured in real time, not reconstructed months later.
  • AI monitoring for red flags. Affiant's AI scans entries for patterns that suggest compliance problems, inconsistencies that could be exploited, or documentation gaps that need attention. You get alerts before the insurer gets ammunition.

WC Hearing Preparation

Walk into every hearing with exhibits that tell a complete, compelling story — organized, persuasive, and ready to counter the insurer's narrative.

Affiant transforms months of daily client documentation into exhibits already formatted for your comp hearing.

  • Functional limitation charts. Daily capacity data visualized over time — grip strength trends, standing tolerance trajectories, lifting capacity progression.
  • Pain and symptom trend reports. Longitudinal pain data showing patterns, flare-ups, medication effects, and recovery trajectory.
  • Activity restriction timelines. What your client could and couldn't do, day by day, mapped against key case events: IME dates, RTW attempts, surveillance incidents, treatment milestones.
  • Treatment compliance records. Appointment attendance, medication adherence, therapy completion — all documented automatically and formatted for submission.
  • Sleep disruption analysis. Nightly sleep data showing the injury's impact on rest and recovery.
  • Daily life impact summaries. Narrative summaries of how the injury affects household tasks, family activities, self-care, and independence — backed by daily data.

Built for the Discoverability Fight

Attorney-directed documentation the insurer can't weaponize.

Every entry is attorney-directed, firm-controlled, tamper-proof, and invisible to the client after submission — designed for the discoverability challenge from day one.

  • Attorney-directed work product. All surveys and documentation prompts are created under attorney direction as part of legal representation. The documentation exists because you directed your client to create it as part of your case strategy.
  • Firm controls all disclosure. Your firm decides what gets produced, when, and to whom. Clients cannot independently share, export, or provide access to their documentation.
  • Clients cannot see prior submissions. Once an entry is submitted, it's locked and invisible to the client. This prevents alteration of past entries, ensures authenticity, and eliminates cross-examination attacks on consistency.
  • Fixed, timestamped entries. No backdating. No revision. No deletion. The audit trail is complete and defensible.
  • AI monitors, never generates. Affiant's AI flags issues and summarizes patterns, but every word in every entry is the client's own authentic documentation.
