Plaintiff Fact Sheet (PFS)

A standardized questionnaire completed by each plaintiff in a mass tort litigation, typically required under a court-ordered discovery protocol or case management order, capturing individual claimant details such as exposure history, medical diagnoses, treatment records, and damages. In the context of intake and campaign management, the accuracy and completeness of PFS data collected during the sign-up process directly affects a claimant's eligibility to remain in the litigation and the value assigned to their case. Plaintiff firms often build intake workflows and retainer processes around the specific PFS requirements of a given MDL to ensure signed clients can meet court-imposed deadlines.
