Plaintiff

The plaintiff is the party that brings a civil lawsuit by filing a complaint with the court. In personal injury cases the plaintiff is the injured person, or that person's estate or guardian, suing the at-fault party for damages. The plaintiff bears the burden of proving each element of the claim, typically duty, breach, causation, and damages.

Personal injury plaintiffs come from every walk of life and every income level, but they share a common operational problem: they have unexpected medical bills, may be unable to work, and have limited cash flow during the months or years a case takes to resolve. The lien-based treatment ecosystem (medical liens, pharmacy liens, treatment on lien) exists to bridge this gap.

A pharmacy lien specifically addresses the plaintiff's medication needs. Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and pain control prescriptions are common after a crash, and many plaintiffs cannot afford the copays on top of lost income. CreoRx's lien pharmacy fills the prescriptions at any of 67,000+ pharmacies with no upfront cost, secured by a pharmacy lien against the eventual settlement. The plaintiff stays on the treatment plan, the medical record stays clean, and case value is preserved.

For the law firm, plaintiff intake should capture insurance status, prescription needs, and pharmacy preference. These intake fields drive the choice of pharmacy lien partner and shape how the firm communicates with the plaintiff during the case.
