Case Desk by AskMatlockBuilt by personal-injury professionals
Find the $26,000+ your claim may be missing.
Insurance offers can miss real money: car value, medical costs, lost wages, and injury impact. Case Desk helps you document what is missing and find the right lawyer to pursue it.
Free to use. No SSN. No credit card.
Where the $26,000+ goes
$3,400
Diminished value & cash-value shortfall
What your vehicle truly lost — and the under-payment on a total loss the insurer hopes you accept.
$18,500
Injury settlement uplift
A stronger documented demand can move the first offer closer to real case value. Case Desk helps you find the right lawyer.
$4,200
Lost wages & future medical
Time off work and projected ongoing care most people forget to add to the claim — every dollar.
Based on $15B of personal-injury outcome data and the dollar-figure ranges most insurers never volunteer. Your case may recover more or less.

How victims use Case Desk
Three places Case Desk moves the needle. Numbers are representative composites from our $15B outcome dataset — not single case anecdotes.
- Property damage
A 2019 Honda Civic owner in Georgia uses the diminished-value tool to challenge a $12,500 cash-value offer. Documented-demand value: $15,800.
Range our users typically recover: $1,800–$3,400 above first offer.
- Medical records
A moderate soft-tissue case in Texas pulls records from four providers via one HIPAA request — instead of paying $50–$200 per provider.
Range our users typically save: $200–$800 in records-retrieval fees.
- Settlement range
A moderate-severity case in California checks the settlement range tool before responding to a first offer of $14,000. Documented demand lands $20,500.
Range our users typically recover: 28–47% above the first offer.
Representative outcomes based on our $15B dataset. Your case may recover more or less. Not a guarantee.

Honest answers
What you are probably wondering.
Is this legal advice?
No. Case Desk is information and tools, not legal advice. For advice that fits your specific case, hire a lawyer. Many of our recovery tools will help you decide if you need to.
Do I need to give you my SSN or insurance details?
Never your SSN. Insurance info only when you use a specific tool that needs it — and only stored on your dashboard, encrypted.
Is this really free?
Yes. Matlock & Partners funds Case Desk. We make money only when someone hires a lawyer through our directory — and we never push that on you.
Are you a law firm?
No. AskMatlock (the parent company) is a legal technology service. Matlock & Partners is the affiliated personal-injury law firm whose attorneys helped build the playbooks. Two different things.
What states do you cover?
All 50 states. The recovery tools — diminished value reports, medical-records authorizations, demand letters, settlement-range estimates — work for any accident victim, anywhere in the U.S. We are deepening state-specific playbooks state by state, starting with the nine largest jurisdictions, and adding more every month.
Who built it
Built with personal-injury attorneys.
The same playbooks the attorneys at Matlock & Partners use to win settlements — now in your hands. We turned their working files into recovery tools, then made it free, because most cases do not need a lawyer for everything.
