AI tools typically ask for basic facts (age, date of incident, relationship, and some financial information) and then generate a projected range. That can be useful as a starting point—but fatal crash cases in Palm Beach County often turn on details that generic calculators can’t see, such as:
- Speed, distraction, and lane position at the moment of impact (often supported by incident reconstruction)
- Vehicle and roadway conditions (lighting, signage visibility, traffic control)
- Driver identification and compare-fault arguments (including whether a pedestrian or motorcyclist shared any responsibility)
- Medical timeline and causation—what injuries were documented, when complications occurred, and what records can confirm the death was legally tied to the crash
If those elements aren’t captured accurately, an AI estimate may point you in the wrong direction—either too low or too high.
