AI tools work by using general patterns from past claims. That can be useful when you’re trying to understand what categories of losses matter.
But an online estimate may miss local realities that change settlement value, such as:
- Stop-and-go commuting that increases the likelihood of rear-end collisions and low-speed impact disputes
- Dense intersections and turning movements where fault can be contested
- Roadway conditions (construction zones, lane shifts, resurfacing) that can affect how a crash is reconstructed
- Close timelines between the crash and treatment—important in New York when insurers look for causation
In short: AI can’t verify whether the other driver’s version matches the evidence, whether your injuries align with the mechanism of harm, or whether your treatment timeline is consistent with what you reported.
