Short answer: Possibly, but only a narrow slice. Personal injury files are full of client information that confidentiality rules protect, so the realistic scope is firm-owned operating material. On size, Mode's minimum for legal is 10 employees; micro1 asks for 30+.

What these files hold
Typical personal injury matter files include:
- Client medical records and bills gathered to prove damages
- Accident and police reports, photos and witness statements
- Insurer claim files and adjuster correspondence
- Settlement amounts and releases, which often carry their own confidentiality terms
ABA Model Rule 1.6(a) bars revealing information relating to the representation of a client without informed consent or an exception (Rule 1.6), and Rule 1.9 carries duties to former clients (Rule 1.9). Your state's version is the one that binds you.
What a firm might consider instead
- Blank intake scripts and questionnaires
- Demand-letter and settlement-statement templates with no client facts
- Case-stage workflows and deadline checklists described at process level
- Marketing and referral-source tracking with client details removed
- Vendor processes for records retrieval and medical-bill requests
These are candidates for review with ethics counsel, not a list of approved items.
Medical records are the core of the file
Most of a PI file is health information. Mode says health records, payment card data and children's data are excluded, and that its AI customer is contractually barred from trying to identify anyone in the data (Mode affiliate FAQ). In practice that means a PI firm's licensable scope is mostly its operations, not its case files. Settlement releases may also bind the firm to confidentiality, so read them before any matter-level material is considered.
Size and program fit
Mode lists minimum team sizes of 10+ employees for legal, 15+ for accounting, medical and finance, and 50+ for all other businesses, for companies based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia with several years of records they own (Mode). micro1 asks for 30+ employees, mostly English data, and says it is prioritizing US companies (micro1). Census doesn't count firms by practice area, so the table shows all U.S. law offices.

Frequently asked questions
Can we license settlement data if names are removed?
Settlement terms are client information, and some releases have their own confidentiality clauses. Removing names may not be enough if amounts and facts identify the case. Ask ethics counsel.
Does Mode take medical records from a law firm?
Mode's FAQ says health records are excluded from what it licenses.
