Question 1

How does Cadence help attorneys analyze California workers' comp cases?

Accepted Answer

Cadence Esquire reads the full case file — medical records, legal documents, notes, and correspondence — and returns structured findings with citations. It surfaces prior injuries, inconsistencies, and apportionment signals; generates AOE/COE reasoning grounded in California law; values exposure pre-P&S; produces timelines and deposition support. A complete knowledge graph has been built from a 648-page case in five minutes.

Question 2

How is Cadence Esquire different from ChatGPT or generic legal AI?

Accepted Answer

Generic legal AI cannot access Sullivan on Comp, AMA Guides 5th Edition under license, the California PDRS, or the Michael Sullivan & Associates Best Practices Guide. Cadence runs on all of them. Every output cites primary sources California courts and the WCAB actually apply. Cadence is SOC 2 Type 2 certified — client files never train a public model.

Question 3

Can Cadence draft QME letters and IFR letters with page references?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cadence Esquire drafts letters to QMEs and treating doctors with page-specific citations, plus IFR and advocacy letters built from the full record. The page-referenced approach reduces per-page review fees that compound across a case.

Question 4

How does Cadence value case exposure before P&S?

Accepted Answer

Future medical estimates are trained on relevant fee schedules (including the Medicare fee schedule) and life expectancy. PD ratings are produced on AMA Guides 5th Edition and the California PDRS with WPI, occupation modifiers, and apportionment. The exposure picture updates as new records arrive — settlement posture can be set earlier rather than waiting for P&S.

Question 5

How does Cadence support deposition preparation?

Accepted Answer

Cadence Esquire produces a chronological timeline from the medical-legal record, page-level citations for every key event, and drafted questions built from the file. The attorney starts from a structured foundation — doctors expecting general questions don't expect questions built from their own report.

Question 6

Can Cadence outputs be used directly in briefs and client letters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All outputs export as PDF or DOCX with citations to AMA Guides 5th Edition (under license), Sullivan on Comp (exclusive partnership), and the California PDRS — defensible in California workers' comp proceedings.
