Claude Prompt: Personal Injury Case Valuation Analysis from Your Own Inputs
Run an internal personal injury valuation that recomputes economic damages and builds scenarios only from the comparables, ranges and rule text you supply.
The Prompt
Variables (7)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{client_name}} | Client Name | Maria Gonzalez |
| {{venue_and_court}} | Venue and Court | Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois |
| {{case_type}} | Case Type | Motor vehicle collision, rear-end |
| {{attorney_valuation_inputs}} | Attorney Valuation Inputs | Comparables I pulled: Doe v. Roe verdict $210,000 (disc herniation, surgery); Smith settlement $95,000 (herniation, injections). My assumption: 70% chance of full liability finding. |
| {{governing_rule_text}} | Governing Damages and Fault Rule Text | Paste verbatim text and citation of any comparative fault rule or damages cap, or write none. |
| {{liability_evidence}} | Liability Evidence | Crash report 24-118733, p. 2: "Unit 1 failed to stop for red signal." Defense statement: client was braking late. |
| {{injury_treatment_and_damages}} | Injury, Treatment and Damages Records | ER 06/14/2026 $4,812.50; MRI 06/30/2026 $2,100; PT 12 visits $3,600; lost wages 6 weeks at $1,850. C5-C6 herniation per physician note 07/22/2026. |
Expected Output
A reasoned analysis, then: conflicts between sources, recomputed economic damages with running sums, an inputs audit classifying every figure, scenarios with the arithmetic shown, value drivers tied to the record, missing information, unsupported statements and declined requests, and a Verification list.
Usage Notes
Strategic-tier prompt. Use for an internal evaluation before demand or negotiation. Paste the comparables and rule text you have verified yourself in JVR, Verdict Search, Westlaw or the official sources. Failure mode to watch: a settlement range or multiplier the model offers that traces to none of your inputs; the prompt should decline to produce one without them. Not legal advice. The attorney remains responsible for verifying every fact, figure and authority before use.
Double-check before use
- Check that no fault rule is assumed for your state. In testing, a fault regime was once presupposed without any rule supplied.
These are the places where this prompt was seen to slip when tested on sample cases with a small AI model.
