Most AI tools work by prompting you for details—age, relationship to the deceased, medical costs, and basic incident facts—then generating a rough range. That range may feel reassuring, but it’s only as reliable as the assumptions behind it.
In wrongful death cases, outcomes hinge on things calculators typically can’t evaluate well, such as:
- Whether witness statements and crash/incident reports actually support the theory of responsibility
- Whether the fatal harm was caused by the defendant’s actions (not an intervening factor)
- How Arizona’s comparative fault arguments may affect settlement posture
- Whether the available records back up the claimed losses
Bottom line: treat an AI estimate as a question generator, not a forecast.
