Birth Injury Marketing
Cost per signed case

More signed birth injury cases from the spend you already have

We get birth injury firms more signed cases. Not more inquiries, and not a better-looking dashboard. Signed cases, counted in your case management system, at a cost you can put next to a fee.

Every agency you have hired reported cost per lead. It is the number the ad platform hands them, it needs nothing from you, and in this practice area it is close to meaningless. Most birth injury inquiries are not viable claims. Screening each one costs real money and real reviewer hours. A campaign can halve your cost per lead and raise your cost per signed case at the same time, and both movements are real.

So we report the other number. Every month you get cost per signed case, traced from spend through to the matters your firm actually opened, reconciled against your case management system rather than against our own reporting. If the two disagree, yours is right and we go and find out why.

What that requires from your side

This only works if an inquiry can be followed to a signed matter. In most firms it cannot, and that is the first thing we fix.

Three things that have to be true before cost per signed case means anything.
What has to be trueWhyWho does it
Every inquiry arrives tagged with source, campaign and landing pageWithout it, spend cannot be attributed to anything downstreamUs, in the first month
Inquiries can be joined to matters in your case management systemThis is the join that produces the number. Most firms have never made itUs, with your intake lead

Figure 1: the last two stages are the expensive ones. An agency that reports to inquiries is reporting the cheapest half of your funnel and calling it performance.

Figure 2: two numbers, one join apart. Cost per lead needs nothing from your firm. Cost per signed case needs the join, which is why most agencies do not report it.

What you can check before you hire us

Everything we would do for your firm is written out and free to read. The tools compute the same arithmetic we would run in month one, on your numbers, without asking for an email.

The same month, measured two ways. Illustrative arithmetic, not a client result, showing how the two numbers move apart when inquiry quality falls.

Campaign B halved cost per lead and raised cost per signed case by a third. A report that stops at the third row shows B winning.

What you will get reported back

Spend, inquiries, screened, reviewed, signed, and the cost per signed case at the end of it, reconciled against your own case management system rather than our ad platform. That is the monthly report, and it is the same standard we hold our own numbers to. No composites appear here.

Our documented record in personal injury acquisition and contingency economics is on the about page, with what it does and does not cover.

Clinical measures and legal measures are never joined on this site. Adverse-event rates describe medicine; litigation describes a legal process. Where both appear together it is to describe a market, not to suggest that one predicts the other.
