Recovery claims
Each claim links the insured event, claim number, date, opposing party, legal basis, compensation paid, amount claimed and documents. The lawyer tracks the demand letter, evidence, lawsuit, judgment, appeal and enforcement.
For insurers
A clear view of litigation and recovery claims
Insurance disputes combine policies, incidents, compensation payments, evidence, expert reports and lengthy court proceedings. LegalTrek keeps a single file for every claim that involves legal work, together with the next actions and the costs incurred.

Example: recovery after a road accident
An insurer has paid compensation after a road accident and brings a recovery claim. The legal team records the claim number, incident documents, correspondence, the claim against the liable party, evidence and deadlines. If the matter goes to court, the court, instance, external counsel, costs, judgments and next steps are added to the same file. The manager sees pending cases and overall costs.
This example is illustrative.
What LegalTrek covers
LegalTrek does not replace your claims handling system — it covers the legal work on claims: cases, documents, deadlines, costs and reports. Connecting to the claims, policy or accounting system is possible as a separate project after analysis.
