Case Value AI
Estimate your personal-injury settlement range, cited to real PACER cases.
What this tool does
Estimate your personal-injury settlement range, cited to real PACER cases.
Every dollar shown has a corresponding citation. Click any cited case to see the full PACER record.
How Case Value AI works
Deterministic baseline formula (medicals × multiplier × state factor × fault factor) combined with a per-injury historical median from CourtListener PACER data, then adjusted by 6 factors the AI extracts from the user's facts (jurisdiction tendency, treatment intensity, age cohort, prior injury, employment status, attorney representation).
The model produces a result paired with a reasoning trace and a list of cited sources. The reasoning trace is the actual analytical scratch pad the model used to arrive at the conclusion , not a marketing summary. You can audit the reasoning, verify it against the cited sources, and override the result if you disagree with how the model weighted a particular factor.
This approach is harder to build than a single-pass AI output, but it is the only way to publish AI-assisted personal-injury content responsibly. Personal-injury claims are a Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) topic under Google's quality framework. Outputs that cannot be audited or verified fail the EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standard and should not be relied on.
Inputs the tool expects
- Injury type
- State of injury
- Medical bills
- Defendant fault percentage
- Lost wages
- Permanent impairment level
What the output looks like
Settlement range (low/mid/high), confidence dot, full reasoning trace, list of comparable PACER cases cited
Output is rendered with the same UI contract every tool on this site shares: a clearly labeled result, a "Show my reasoning" expander, source citations on every factual claim, the model used, and the timestamp of the last source verification. You can copy the output to clipboard, export to a Word-compatible document, or share a permalink that regenerates the same result on demand.
Sources cited by the tool
- CourtListener PACER archive (5,247 cases as of build)
- State pattern jury instructions
- Insurance Information Institute claims data
Sources are refreshed daily through a hash-compare verification pipeline. When a statute is amended, an appellate decision is published, or a primary-source database is updated, the tool flags the change within 24 hours and rebuilds any affected outputs.
Informational only. Not legal advice.
This tool helps you understand the framework of a personal-injury case. It does not provide legal advice. It does not create an attorney-client relationship. The output is a starting point for a conversation with a licensed attorney in your state, not a substitute for one. Cases turn on facts the tool does not see; an attorney can.
Why use Case Value AI instead of a search engine?
General-purpose AI assistants and search engines can answer many personal-injury questions in a generic way. They cannot do what this tool does: combine the user's specific facts with the controlling state law and a verifiable primary-source database, then produce an auditable result. The reasoning trace is the difference: with a general AI assistant, you get an answer; with Case Value AI, you get an answer plus a record of why.
For a $5,000 fender-bender case, that distinction may not matter much. For a $500,000 catastrophic-injury case, it matters enormously. The tools on this site are built for the second kind of case, not the first.

Frequently asked questions
Is Case Value AI free to use?
Yes. All 12 tools on this site are free, with no email gate, no phone gate, and no required account. We do not refer cases to specific attorneys and do not accept referral fees.
What model does Case Value AI use?
claude-opus-4-7. Claude + Gemini dual-pass.
Can I trust the output?
The output is informational and should never be relied on without verifying the cited sources and consulting an attorney licensed in your state. Every output includes the cited sources so you can verify the model's reasoning yourself. Personal-injury claims are a YMYL topic and require human judgment.
How is the data kept current?
Source data is refreshed daily through a hash-compare verification pipeline. When a statute is amended or new appellate authority is published, the affected outputs are flagged and rebuilt within 24 hours.
Does Case Value AI share my inputs?
No. Inputs are processed in your browser or in an ephemeral server function and are not stored, sold, or shared. We do not sell user data to claims-buyer firms, attorney-referral services, or marketing aggregators.
