How it works
You paste case details. We tell you if it's a mass tort.
That's the short version. Here's the slightly longer one:
- You submit case facts — intake notes, a medical summary, a client narrative. Text, PDF, or Word doc.
- MDL Match searches your case against 158+ active federal MDLs using legal-domain AI.
- Each potential match gets validated — the AI checks qualifying criteria, products, injuries, and exposure timelines.
- You get ranked results with confidence scores, the specific MDL, and a plain-English explanation of why it matched.
The whole thing takes under 10 seconds. You don't need to know which MDLs exist or what their criteria are. You just submit the facts.
Submit your first case
- Go to Dashboard → New Case (or hit "Match a case" in the header)
- Paste at least 50 characters of case facts. More detail = better results.
- Or drag in a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file — we extract the text automatically.
- Click Match.
That's it. Results show up in seconds.
Pro tip: Include product names, specific injuries, timelines, and medical details. "Client has stomach problems" gives you weak results. "Client took Ozempic for 18 months and was diagnosed with gastroparesis" gives you a high-confidence match against MDL-3094.
Understanding your results
Each match tells you:
- MDL number — the federal docket (e.g., MDL-2885)
- Litigation name — what the mass tort is about
- Confidence score — how closely your case aligns with qualifying criteria (0-100%)
- Matched products & injuries — the specific overlaps
- AI reasoning — plain English: why this matched, or why it was filtered out

What the confidence scores mean
These scores are a triage signal, not a legal opinion. They tell you where to look, not whether to file.
- 80%+ — Strong match. The case facts closely align with known qualifying criteria. This is worth investigating. A single referral here could be worth $10K-$50K+.
- 60-79% — Possible match. Some criteria align, others are ambiguous. Read the AI reasoning — it explains what's missing.
- Below 60% — Weak match. Limited overlap. Still might be worth a second look if the MDL is high-value.
Your firm's match threshold (default 70%) controls which results appear. Anything below your threshold gets filtered automatically. You can adjust this in your organization settings.
