Online tools typically work like a rough intake questionnaire. They may ask about:
- the deceased person’s age and work history
- medical costs and the timeline from injury to death
- the type of incident (vehicle crash, workplace event, premises issue, etc.)
- family relationships and who depended on the decedent
That information may help you think about categories of loss. However, in real Montgomery cases, the value turns on what can be proven—not what can be guessed.
A calculator cannot:
- confirm who was at fault based on actual crash evidence, witness statements, and documentation
- analyze Ohio causation issues when the defense argues another factor contributed to the death
- interpret policy coverage questions (or how an insurer frames risk)
- assess how a claim’s evidence quality affects negotiation and settlement posture
In other words: an AI range can be a starting point for questions, not a substitute for legal evaluation.
