Online tools often produce a “range” based on generic inputs. In Murrieta, that can be especially misleading because serious cases frequently involve:
- High-speed commuting and freeway access scenarios (where causation and visibility are heavily contested)
- Multi-party impacts (drivers, trucking/transport entities, property owners, employers)
- Time gaps between the incident and death (which can complicate medical causation and documentation)
- Conflicting accounts gathered at the scene or later
An AI estimate can’t review the incident report the way an attorney can, evaluate whether the defense will argue “no causation,” or assess how California juries typically respond to credibility and damages evidence.
