Predict for premises liability practices.
The harder PI case. More variability by case category (slip/trip and fall, inadequate security, animal attack, and more) and a wide range of injury severities. Predict tunes the model on every one of those dimensions.

An MVA practice sees enough rear-end soft-tissue cases to develop a defensible instinct. A PL practice sees a slip in a grocery aisle, then an inadequate-security assault, then a pool drowning — three case categories that share almost nothing. The default instinct is rarely calibrated to the case in front of you.
One cohort for every PL case
"Slip-and-falls go for $40–80K." That cohort exists, but the case in front of you — inadequate-security claim, severe injury, lost-wages claim — sits inside a sub-distribution the gut average flattens away.
Sub-categorized comparables
Cohorts split by case category (slip/trip and fall, inadequate security, animal attack, and more), injury severity, direct damages, and jurisdiction. The number is built on the slice that actually matches the case.
Severity hidden in the number
A PL case with a severe, well-documented injury is a different distribution from a minor one — sometimes 2–3x. The single-number gut estimate flattens which end of that range the case sits on.
Severity weighted in the band
Injury severity and direct damages are the top drivers in the PL model, alongside case category and jurisdiction. The band reflects how well-documented the case is — and tells you when the answer depends on discovery you haven't done yet.
Trained on premises liability specifically — and honest about the harder cases.
Premises cases from the 2018–2025 verdict-and-settlement corpus, after deduplication and the 4-year rolling cut-off. The PL fold is the thinner of the two, in line with the underlying market.
Median accuracy on cases the model never saw during training (held-out test set, 2018–2025 verdict window), on higher-value cases. See the accuracy results →
Slip/Trip and Fall, Animal Attack, Inadequate Security, Building Maintenance, Drowning Risk, Fire & Chemical, and Other. Each modeled separately before the cross-jurisdiction tune.
PL is where the confidence band earns its keep. When the matching cohort is thin or the documented damages are still soft, the band widens, and that's the signal to slow down on case selection, not to ignore the model. See how it works →
A wider band is still better than a wrong gut.
A PL case whose closest comparables are sparse gets a wider 90% confidence interval — the methodology forces honesty about uncertainty. That is the input to the case-selection decision, and the same band carries forward through demand-letter prep and negotiation as discovery fills in. A $40K–$110K band tells you the case can pay if worked, and it tells you the upside isn't a guarantee. Every figure is a gross case value — before attorney fees, case costs, and medical liens.
The default tool — gut + a senior partner's recall — produces a single number with no uncertainty surface. The number feels more confident; it isn't.
