Most AI estimates treat a wrongful death claim like a spreadsheet. In Punta Gorda, that can be a poor fit because the “story behind the numbers” matters just as much as the losses.
For example, the same tragic outcome can produce very different settlement results depending on:
- Who had the right of way (and what the traffic evidence shows)
- Whether fault is disputed (common in crashes involving multiple vehicles)
- Whether the death was linked to the incident (causation can be contested)
- What documentation exists (medical records, bills, incident reports, witness statements)
- How Florida comparative fault rules are applied to the facts
An AI tool can’t review scene photos, pull surveillance footage, evaluate medical causation, or anticipate how a defense will argue that another factor contributed to the death.
