After a harmful outcome—especially one that disrupts work, parenting, or an active routine—most people want an immediate answer: What is this likely worth?
That urgency is understandable. Still, many AI tools are built to produce ranges from a limited set of inputs. They often can’t account for the details that Massachusetts cases turn on, such as:
- whether the provider’s actions aligned with the accepted medical standard of care
- how strong the causation evidence is (not just that an injury occurred)
- whether the harm is supported with objective medical documentation
- how damages are proven for both the past and future
So instead of treating an estimate like a conclusion, treat it like a checklist starter.
