Route each personal injury caller to an owned next step.

A new potential matter may need structured intake and a consultation path. An existing client may need the assigned team, a provider may need records or billing operations, an adjuster may need the responsible staff member, and a vendor may need an administrative queue. Asking every caller the same injury questions wastes time and creates inappropriate records.

Use an unknown or needs-review path when classification is uncertain. Do not guess that a caller is a qualified lead or reject a matter based on a routing label.

A live transfer should name the destination, acceptance behavior, and fallback if no one answers. Scheduling should identify the eligible calendar, booking confirmation, and owner. A callback should carry a reason, contact preference, priority under firm rules, and responsible queue. A message should be appropriate for non-lead business. A review queue should preserve uncertainty for a qualified person.

Transfers fail, calendars may be unavailable, caller identity can remain unclear, and a requested person may not be reachable. Document what happens next without dropping the context already collected. The fallback can be an owned callback, a designated message queue, a different approved schedule, or needs review.

Avoid circular transfers and invisible general inboxes. The routing record should show each attempt, final status, and current owner.

Correctness asks whether the caller reached the intended path. Completion asks whether the transfer connected, appointment was booked, callback was accepted, message was delivered, or review item was resolved. Track the two separately so an accurate classification does not hide an unfinished handoff.
