Who We Are

Settlement Insight is an independent legal data publisher. We are a founder-led team covering data, research and design. We build the database, write the studies and design every calculator in house, so each figure on this site can be traced to a public record.

For Law Firms, Lead Buyers and Advertisers

People come here to check their own case. Our partners reach them at that moment, and every inquiry comes with a consent record they can check.

Talk to partnerships Lead topics, calls and ad space

Search-Led, First-Party Traffic: Visitors find us through search while checking a specific injury, deadline or class action. Every inquiry is made on our own pages; we don't buy traffic, use co-registration or pay people to fill in forms.
Consent on Record: Inquiry forms use a separate consent checkbox that is never ticked in advance. We store the exact wording, the time and the page of every consent.
Built for Phones: Most visits come from a phone, so every page, form and placement is designed and tested on a phone first.
Labeled and Measured: Sponsorships and display ads are clearly labeled, and we measure views and clicks for each placement.
