AI-based tools generally work from the information you type in. In Shakopee, that can be a problem because the “real story” behind fatal incidents often turns on details you may not know to include, such as:
- Which traffic conditions existed at the time (turning movements, speed, visibility, lane control, weather)
- Whether a crash involved commuting patterns (morning/evening rush, school-related trips, roadway merges)
- What emergency response records show (timeline, scene observations, preliminary fault indicators)
- Whether multiple parties may be implicated (vehicle owners, employers, contractors, property owners)
A calculator can’t review Minnesota crash/incident reports, obtain surveillance or dashcam footage, or evaluate whether causation is disputed. Those gaps are where settlement values rise or fall.
