Most AI calculators work by taking a few inputs—age, incident type, and rough financial figures—and returning a generic range. That approach can break down in real local cases, where the outcome often hinges on details such as:
- Which traffic facts are documented (what officers observed, what videos exist, whether measurements were taken)
- Whether fault is clearly supported (speed, lane position, distraction, impairment, or failure to yield)
- How the timing of injuries is explained (especially when someone dies after complications rather than immediately)
- What records are available quickly enough (medical charts, employment history, and incident documentation)
In American Fork, where commutes and daily driving patterns can increase exposure to high-speed collisions and multi-party crashes, those factual gaps matter. An AI tool can’t interview witnesses, review police reports line-by-line, or evaluate whether a defense will argue causation.
