Many of us are using AI on a regular basis for many different reasons – even in cases where we don’t specifically mean to. Google often displays AI-generated summaries before showing standard search results matching your request. And of course millions of people actively turn to AI tools like ChatGPT to get detailed answers to all sorts of questions.
These include legal questions. Marlo Greer recently gave it a try, as she discusses in a recent video. She asked ChatGPT to estimate a motor vehicle accident claim value. After answering “it depends,” it correctly outlined key legal valuation factors.
That list was a long one, but as Marlo points out, it boiled down to:
- Asking what happened
- Asking how you were injured
- Finding out what your medical bills are
- Learning about how the crash has affected your life
Along with this, ChatGPT provided a long list of things that someone can use to determine what their case might be worth.
While helpful, AI cannot handle the legal work required for a personal injury claim. AI tools like ChatGPT frequently make errors when drafting court filings or analyzing specific case details. Legal news frequently reports instances where AI tools hallucinated non-existent case law. These tools also frequently misapply statutes meant for entirely different legal situations.
In short, there is no substitute for an experienced personal injury attorney. You want someone who can take a deep understanding of the law and court procedures and apply that to your case. You also want an attorney who understands how insurance companies think. That’s because insurance companies play a huge role in so many of these cases. Effective insurance negotiation often determines whether you secure a substantial settlement or face trial.
