EVIDENCE THAT WINS
Start capturing the real value of your cases
Medical records document diagnoses. Affiant captures the human stories of clients’ lived experience. Daily surveys and journals record the specific, timestamped details of loss and functional impairment that move adjusters, convince ALJs, and hold up under cross.
NONECONOMIC DAMAGES
The details that move adjusters and juries fade fast. Capture them in real time.
Noneconomic damages are a huge source of PI case value. They're also the hardest to prove.
- The details that win cases fade fast. That your client missed their daughter’s soccer game because of a flare-up, that pain wakes them three times a week despite medication, that they hired someone to mow their lawn for the first time in twenty years — these moments fade from memory long before mediation.
- Affiant captures those details as they happen. Daily surveys build a longitudinal record of missed activities, disrupted sleep, lost time with family, and diminished capacity. Journal entries preserve the moments juries connect with, timestamped and in the client's own words.
- Adjusters can’t discount what’s documented. Settling against documented, quantified evidence of life impact, they can’t rely on the standard move: characterizing the plaintiff’s account as vague or unverifiable.
STD/LTD & ERISA
Put the defense’s experts on the defensive
Office visit notes consistently understate episodic impairments and variable symptoms. It’s no surprise that insurers’ doctors consistently exploit this gap.
- In STD and LTD claims under ERISA, insurers' physicians routinely assert that the medical record doesn't support disability. It's easy for them to do this because office visit notes were never intended to be evidence in a disability claim.
- Affiant builds a contemporaneous, longitudinal record of episodic impairments, daily functional limitations, time off-task, and symptom variability throughout the life of the claim. This isn't a patchwork of vague, subjective recollections. It's timestamped, clinically valid documentation of changes in functioning. This means treating providers can review it, evaluate it, and affirm it to a reasonable degree of clinical certainty.
- Provider-endorsed records change the calculus. Appeals built on Affiant reports endorsed by treating providers create a record of persistent impairment that insurers can’t reasonably ignore.
SURVEILLANCE DEFENSE
Watch the defense’s smoking gun backfire
When good days and bad days are already in the record, footage of a good day actually strengthens your client’s credibility.
- Surveillance video of a client loading groceries or walking without visible difficulty can devastate the typical case. When there's no contemporaneous record of client's variable symptoms, footage of a good day looks like a lie.
- Affiant closes this gap. Your clients document their experience daily: good days and bad. When surveillance shows a client doing well, that day is already timestamped in the record. The footage no longer contradicts your client, it corroborates them.
- Defense surveillance backfires. With Affiant, defense surveillance makes your cases stronger, not weaker.
SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
Document your client’s actual RFC with a provider-affirmed record of daily functioning
ALJs assess Residual Functional Capacity primarily from medical records. But medical records were never designed to answer the RFC question.
- Office visit notes document diagnoses and treatment plans. They don't document how often your client lies down during the day, how many days per week symptoms prevent sustained concentration, or how consistently functional capacity fluctuates. The gap between what the medical evidence shows and what the claimant actually experiences almost always disadvantages the claimant.
- Affiant closes that gap with a parallel, contemporaneous functional record. Daily surveys capture actual activities, time off-task, symptom frequency, and the specific ways impairments limit functioning. This record accumulates across the full pre-hearing timeline, giving ALJs — and your clients’ treating providers — a factual, longitudinal account of how your clients actually function day-to-day.
- Your client's functional reality is no longer a matter of assertion. It's a matter of record.
MEDICAL SOURCE STATEMENTS
Give your clients' physicians the data to back up what they know
A well-supported Medical Source Statement can determine a hearing outcome. A vague one leaves the RFC determination in the ALJ's hands.
- Most treating providers complete MSS forms from clinical impression and conjecture. They see the claimant for fifteen minutes every few weeks to every few months. Asked to quantify RFC limitations they've never systematically measured — some of which can't be clinically measured at all — many providers understate them, hedge excessively, or simply decline to complete the form.
- When your client has been using Affiant, on the other hand, you can give treating providers a clinically valid, longitudinal record of functional impairment. They're no longer guessing about ostensible functional capacity. They're affirming what the data shows and explaining its logical connection to the objective medical evidence. Their opinions become more specific, more defensible, and far more difficult for SSA decisionmakers to dismiss.
- No additional effort required. The record gets materially stronger with no extra work from you, your staff, or the client’s provider.
