Can Voksha handle a sudden call spike, like after local news coverage of a case or a mass tort event?

Yes, and this is one of the scenarios where an AI receptionist has a structural advantage over both a human receptionist and a traditional answering service, since it can answer an essentially unlimited number of simultaneous calls without a caller ever reaching a busy signal or a long hold queue, which is exactly what happens to firms relying on live staff when call volume spikes well beyond normal levels. A personal injury or mass tort firm that gets named in local news coverage of a major accident, or that launches a new ad campaign around an emerging mass tort (a defective product, a pharmaceutical issue), can see call volume jump from a normal 100-150 calls a month to several times that within days, and a single receptionist or small intake team physically cannot keep pace, callers get busy signals or long holds and, per the industry pattern, a large share simply call the next firm instead. Because Voksha's overage pricing is a flat $1 per call beyond your plan's included volume, a spike doesn't require an emergency plan upgrade mid-crisis, calls above your Premium or Enterprise allotment are simply billed at the flat rate while every caller still gets answered and qualified in real time. Firms that anticipate this kind of spike, for example, before a planned mass tort marketing push, can proactively move to Enterprise ahead of the campaign to get a custom call volume that matches expected traffic, rather than absorbing a large overage bill reactively. Either way, the caller experience stays consistent: qualified, scheduled, and synced to the CRM, regardless of whether it's call number 5 or call number 500 that week.
