There are approximately 200 barristers currently using piCalculator, and it was originally built with their input. 

Is piCalculator primarily a tool for defendants?

Defendant solicitors, insurers, and claimant lawyers all use piCalculator. It’s entirely neutral, just like Excel or any other calculator.

Is piCalculator suitable for collaboration?

We have built a unique sharing function for users to collaborate on the same document at the same time. Also, we can set up team structures. For example, team leaders can have full visibility of their teams’ cases.

Is there a minimum required case volume I need to commit to?

There is no minimum requirement. Use it as much or as little as you wish.

Why should I change from the process I’m comfortable with?

Processes evolve and change with the benefit of new technology to increase efficiency and profitability. Embracing new technology and greater efficiency puts you ahead of the curve and makes your processes easier.

Here is what some piCalculator customers have to say about the platform

piCalculator from Verisk has been a core component of our digital transformation push. piCalculator has completely changed the way we handle high-value multi-track claims, helping us switch out more traditional calculation methods in favour of a modern cloud-based alternative. The new solution takes away the worry of miscalculations and allows us to make adjustments very quickly in the event of industry changes or court decisions such as Swift v. Carpenter.
