AI tools are built to estimate using general patterns. They may factor in things like medical treatment length and reported losses, then generate a projected range.
In New Jersey, however, insurers and attorneys don’t negotiate based on a generic algorithm. They look closely at:
- Crash documentation (police report details, photos, witness accounts)
- Medical record consistency (what you told providers early on and what treatment followed)
- Causation evidence (how the injury ties to the specific crash mechanics)
- Policy and liability questions (who is responsible and what coverage applies)
So treat an AI estimate as a conversation starter, not a promise. A lawyer can translate your real-world records into the categories insurers actually evaluate.
