Featured in USA Today: How AI Is Leveling the Playing Field in Personal Injury Claims

We are proud to share that Pogosyan Law has been featured in USA Today, in an article exploring one of the most important - and least understood - shifts in personal injury law: the growing role of artificial intelligence in how accident claims are valued.
Here is a look at what the article covers, and why it matters for anyone who is ever injured in an accident.
The Hidden Software Behind Your Settlement
For decades, insurance companies have quietly used software to put a price on injury claims. As the USA Today article explains, major insurers rely on claims-valuation programs - the most widely documented being a system called Colossus - that convert accident and medical data into a suggested settlement range. Newer AI and predictive-analytics tools push that automation even further. The result is that, by the time an injured person hears an offer, data and software have often already shaped the number.
An Uneven Playing Field
That creates a striking imbalance. On one side sits an insurer armed with decades of settlement data, predictive models, and purpose-built software. On the other sits an accident victim - often still in treatment - holding a stack of medical bills and little independent sense of what the claim should be worth. Faced with that uncertainty, many people accept the first offer simply because they have no way to judge whether it is fair.


How AI Can Work for the Injured, Too
The encouraging development the article highlights is that some of that same analytical power is finally becoming available to accident victims. Pogosyan Law’s free, anonymous AI Case Value Insight tool is one example: it gives anyone injured in an accident an attorney-style snapshot of their case in under a minute - no personal information required, and no responses stored. A claimant who understands a realistic range, and the factors driving it, is far less likely to accept a lowball offer.
What Every Accident Victim Should Know
Whether or not you ever use an AI tool, a few points from the article are worth remembering:
- The first offer is rarely the last word - it is usually a floor, not a ceiling.
- Software may already be shaping your offer, not just an adjuster’s judgment.
- Prompt medical care and thorough documentation influence how both people and systems value a claim.
- Understanding a realistic range before you negotiate is real leverage.
As our founding attorney Tony Pogosyan put it in the piece, the goal is not to replace lawyers with software - it is to make sure people do not sign away a fair claim simply because no one ever told them what fair looks like.
