Claude AI for Personal Injury Attorneys
From demand letters to medical record summaries to mediation briefs — Claude handles the drafting load so you can focus on winning cases.
What Claude Can Do
Demand Letters
The most immediate win in PI practice. Give Claude the liability facts, treatment summary, and damages figures and it drafts a compelling, well-organized demand letter. What used to take an hour takes minutes.
Medical Record Summaries
Paste in medical records and ask Claude to produce a chronological treatment summary, identify key diagnoses and treatment gaps, and flag records that support or complicate the injury claim. Hours of review condensed.
Damages Analysis
Ask Claude to organize economic damages — medical specials, lost wages, future care costs — into a clear summary for demand or mediation. It structures the numbers; you verify and present them.
Complaints and Pleadings
Draft initial complaints, amended pleadings, and discovery requests. Claude produces solid first drafts based on your fact summary, which you refine to match your jurisdiction's requirements.
Liability Research and Analysis
Ask Claude to analyze the liability facts, identify the strongest theories of recovery, anticipate defense arguments, and outline the elements you need to prove. Get your case theory organized fast.
Mediation and Settlement Prep
Draft mediation briefs, settlement demand narratives, and client settlement evaluation letters. Claude helps you present your case persuasively in writing and prepare clients for the settlement process.
Important Considerations
Medical terminology verification
Claude knows medical terminology but is not a medical expert. Have a medical professional review any medically complex characterizations before they go to an adjuster or court.
Jurisdiction-specific damages rules
Caps on non-economic damages, comparative fault rules, and statutory limitations vary by state. Verify all jurisdiction-specific rules before calculating or representing damages.
Verify citations
Claude can hallucinate case citations. Always verify any specific case references before including them in a filing or demand letter.
Insurance adjuster strategies
Claude doesn't know the specific adjuster, the carrier's claim practices, or current settlement trends in your jurisdiction. Your experience and local knowledge drives negotiation strategy.
