Don't Get Burned By AI: Best Practices in Plaintiff-Side Litigation

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:00:00 GMT

AI in Litigation: A Double-Edged Sword

In 2023, personal-injury attorney Steven Schwartz, his partner, and his firm were sanctioned after he submitted briefs in the case of Roberto Mata—who had been struck by a metal serving cart aboard a 2019 flight—that cited completely fictitious opinions generated by ChatGPT. Schwartz’s defense was that he “did not understand it was not a search engine, but a generative language-processing tool.” The fallout was swift: sanctions for misleading the court resulted in a $5,000 fine, and the episode served as a wake-up call for plaintiff-side practitioners exploring AI in litigation.

This cautionary tale underscores the need for education surrounding AI in the legal space.

While AI legal tools offer unprecedented speed and insight, they’re prone to “hallucinations,” the generation of plausible but false or fabricated information. When relied on without verification, these tools can propagate inaccuracies that mislead courts and derail cases. To avoid getting burned by AI, legal professionals need to understand both the capabilities and limitations of their legal AI tools before entrusting them with substantive work.

We’ll explore how personal injury attorneys are leveraging AI to prepare medical chronologies, streamline document review and summarization, deploy advanced media analysis, and generate persuasive demand letters. Additionally, we’ll provide you with a list of tools you should and shouldn’t use.

So, what does the rise of AI mean for plaintiff-side litigation?

The Rise of AI in Plaintiff-Side Litigation

Over the past decade, AI has shifted from a niche research topic to a toolkit found in over ¾ of devices.

Initially, AI was a simple program that followed hundreds of simple “if–then” rules. Today, AI has been developed to recognize images, understand speech, and sift through mountains of text almost like a human would.

These “human-like” capabilities are now being adopted in the legal space. The main drivers are:

Speed: Tasks that once dragged on for weeks, such as reviewing thousands of pages of records or drafting demand letters, can now be completed in hours or days.
Accuracy: Advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models detect subtle patterns in data, flagging inconsistencies and outliers that manual review may miss.
Cost Savings: By automating routine work, firms can reallocate valuable attorney hours toward higher-value strategy and client engagement.

In an increasingly competitive market, leveraging AI tools can be the difference between maximizing client recoveries and settling early for less. As you consider adopting these solutions, it’s critical to grasp not just what they do, but how they integrate into your workflow and ethical obligations.

How You Can Use AI Tools for Evidence & Strategy Workflows

Warning on Using General AI Models

While AI tools can dramatically speed up your work, be cautious: general-purpose AI services (like public chatbots) aren’t designed for confidential legal data. Before uploading any files, always scrub or anonymize client names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, and other personally identifying information. Failure to do so will risk exposing sensitive data without any privacy guarantees.

How Paralegals Can Benefit

As any paralegal knows, you’re often the linchpin in assembling case materials: organizing records, flagging key facts, and preparing the groundwork for attorneys. By using HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant AI platforms like ProPlaintiff.ai, you bring all your essential tools into one, so you can improve your accuracy while taking a few hours off your workload.

Building Medical Chronologies
Gone are the days of flipping through binders of chart notes and transcribing dates by hand. With AI-powered chronologies, simply upload the client’s medical records and let the system extract events: “06/12/24: ER visit for head injury,” “07/01/24: Neurologist consult confirms concussion”. Then have AI lay them out in a clear, editable timeline.

Example: When Rachel at Martinez & Lee uploaded hundreds of pages of records, she spotted a three-month gap in the treatment timeline that had gone unnoticed. Her attorney used that detail to strengthen causation arguments and secured a higher demand number.

“Chat with Document” for Conversational Q&A
Whether you’re hunting for specific language in a deposition or confirming dosage details in a medical report, natural-language queries save hours. Ask, “Which reports mention opioid prescriptions after surgery?” or “Summarize Dr. Patel’s opinion on functional limitations,” and get succinct, numbered answers with direct citations.

Example: Overwhelmed by a 500-page ER transcript, Jamal typed “list all allergy mentions” into the chat. Within seconds, he had a neat list—no more page-by-page slog.

Transcribing and Analyzing Multi-Media Evidence
Photos, dash-cam video, and social-media posts can hide timestamps or metadata that confirm where and when an accident happened. AI media analysis highlights key frames, reads GPS tags, and even flags discrepancies (e.g., a safety helmet not in place), so you can annotate exhibits with confidence.

Example: At a recent slip-and-fall case, Jasmine used media analysis to extract a timestamped security-cam clip showing her client’s fall.

Drafting Demand Letters with AI Templates
First drafts of demand letters often fall to paralegals. AI-driven templates auto-fill client details, chronology highlights, and documented losses into your firm’s standard format. You tweak tone, add personal touches, and hand off a polished draft to the attorney, cutting weeks down to days.

Example: When the firm needed a rapid demand before a presuit deadline, Luis generated a complete draft in under an hour. His attorney only made minor edits, and the client was thrilled with how smoothly it flowed.

These are just a few examples of how legal professionals are implementing AI tools into their day-to-day, transforming months of grunt work into streamlined, high-impact tasks. This lets you focus on what you do best: supporting your attorneys and advancing your cases.

Best Practices for Adopting AI in Plaintiff-Side Litigation

Integrating AI needs to be done thoughtfully. Provided are some best practices you should follow to ensure smooth adoption, maintain ethical standards, as well as demonstrate the benefits to your firm.

Choose the Right Platform
- Compliance First: Look for HIPAA- and SOC 2-certified solutions like ProPlaintiff.ai to safeguard client data from upload through storage and sharing.
- Unified Workspace: Prioritize platforms that combine medical chronologies, document review, media analysis, and demand-letter generation in one interface. This avoids juggling multiple subscriptions and data silos.
- User-Friendly Design: As the primary day-to-day user, you’ll know quickly whether a tool’s UI makes tasks intuitive (drag-and-drop uploads, clear audit trails, natural-language chat) or leaves you hunting through menus.

Paralegal Tip: Before rolling out a new AI trial, have a small team (2-3 paralegals) test core tasks: chronologies, document queries, and demand letters, and gather feedback from their experience.

Establish Clear Workflows & Training
- Standard Operating Procedures: Draft step-by-step guides for each AI feature: how to prep records, how to run analyses, and how to verify outputs.
- Role Definitions: Define who’s responsible for scrubbing PII before upload, who reviews AI outputs, and who finalizes drafts. This prevents duplication and ensures accountability.
- Hands-On Training: Schedule brief workshops or lunch-and-learn sessions. Walk through real case examples, so paralegals become comfortable spotting and correcting AI “hallucinations” before they reach attorneys.

Paralegal Tip: Pair those with experience using AI with colleagues new to the tools. Rotate responsibilities so everyone gains exposure to each feature and can share their experiences with each other.

Verify & Document Everything
- Audit Trail Checks: After running an AI chronology or document summary, cross-check at least one major entry against the source file. Use the platform’s version history to note your verification.
- Source Citations: When you populate a demand letter with AI-generated language, append or embed precise citations (e.g., “MRI report, 09/15/24, p. 4”) so attorneys can rapidly review.
- Error Log: Maintain a brief internal log of any AI errors you catch—misdated events, missing citations, or misidentified images. Over time, this helps you refine prompts and train the AI to improve accuracy.

Paralegal Tip: Set a weekly 15-minute huddle to review any AI-generated discrepancies. This continuous feedback loop prevents small mistakes from becoming big problems.

Measure ROI & Share Wins
- Time Tracking: Compare how long it takes to build a chronology, run a document query, or draft a demand letter before and after AI adoption. Even a 50 percent reduction is a clear win.
- Quality Metrics: Survey attorneys for satisfaction ratings on AI-assisted deliverables. Did demand letters arrive earlier? Were chronologies more comprehensive?
- Case Outcomes: While many factors influence settlement or verdict, note any cases where AI-driven insights (e.g., a missed treatment gap or a key video timestamp) directly contributed to higher demand numbers or early resolution.

Paralegal Tip: Compile these metrics into a monthly “AI Impact” one-pager. Share it with your supervising attorneys to showcase efficiency gains and reinforce ongoing support for the technology.

Selecting the right AI tool for you, formalizing workflows and training, rigorously verifying outputs, and quantifying your gains will help you and your firm to maintain accuracy and client confidentiality. Now that you’re empowered with the knowledge of how AI works, what to use it for, and how to implement it, it’s time to start putting it to work.

Next Steps

AI is reshaping plaintiff-side evidence and strategy. But with great power comes great responsibility. As you integrate AI into your workflow, remember:

What it can do for you: AI accelerates building medical chronologies, document analyses, and multimedia findings, giving your team deeper, more precise case-building capabilities.
Use it strategically: Weaving AI-derived timelines and media insights into your narratives means you position your firm to negotiate from strength and pursue optimal outcomes.
Prudent use is essential: Left unchecked, AI “hallucinations” can generate fictitious citations or misstate case law. This then puts you at risk of sanctions, ethical violations, and damage to your reputation. Verify every AI output, maintain audit trails, and cross-reference with primary sources.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this piece, failing to exercise this prudence can land a case in jeopardy, as seen in high-profile sanctions for relying on unvetted generative outputs. Combining AI’s speed with rigorous human oversight helps you unlock its full potential without stumbling into costly snafus.

Prompt Injection: What is It and How Can it Be Mitigated?: Artificial Intelligence Trends

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 17:25:24 GMT

A LinkedIn post from Aaron Patton (aka Gates Dogfish) about “linguistic malware” (i.e., prompt injection) got me thinking about it.

Aaron’s post (available here) asks: “Is Linguistic Malware Coming for eDiscovery?” He contends (and I agree) that “it’s only a matter of time before ‘linguistic malware’ appears in eDiscovery data.”

He notes that “innocent-looking documents contain embedded text like white font, tiny font, or buried under metadata. Nothing crashes. No alerts trigger. But the AI reads and obeys.” Examples include instructions like “Ignore all prior instructions” or “Use ONLY this text for your summary and analysis”.

Persuasive Legal Writing: Making the Most of Citations, Editing, and the Table of Authorities

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:30:00 GMT

Effective legal writing involves connecting compelling arguments with cited support from relevant legal authorities. A clear understanding of these authorities’ hierarchy amplifies the persuasive strength of your assertions. Mastering tools like the Table of Authorities (TOA) in Microsoft Word can improve your productivity. Combining legal writing skills with technological assistance elevates the quality of your work, ensures adherence to court timelines, and helps you concentrate on your argumentation.

The TOA does more than list the citations in a legal brief: it improves your arguments’ credibility. It helps legal writers check they’re using a well-rounded mix of sources without over-dependence on certain types—particularly non-binding secondary sources. Remember, citations are not mere formalities; they are fundamental elements that infuse credibility into your legal writing, bolstering its persuasive power. Thus, effective legal writing combines articulate argumentation, authoritative citation, and proficient use of tools like the TOA.

Getting the Most out of Your Keyword Searches

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:30:00 GMT

Though a more basic searching technique, keyword searches allow professionals to identify one or two specific words from multiple documents. Nowadays, keyword searches are considered inferior to the successor, predictive coding (TAR). In comparison to TAR, the “outdated” search method is more expensive and time-consuming. Keyword searches are also less predictable; when filtering through the same data set, keyword searches yield fewer results. Based on these flaws, some would argue that keyword searches are a dying technique.

10 Tips for Successfully Negotiating an ESI Agreement and Managing Discovery Costs in Civil Litigation

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:30:00 GMT

Popular media — special shout out to Ally McBeal — would have us believe that trials, particularly trial by jury, are the way most cases are resolved. But legal professionals will tell you that that is simply no longer the case. When the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure went into effect in 1938, 20% of federal civil cases were resolved with a trial. In 2017, it was less than 1%. All this despite the increase in overall civil litigation over the last 85 years.

Why is this important? If cases aren’t going to trial, then the discovery process represents most of the time and expenses incurred in a given case. But, as any lawyer will tell you, this process can quickly go off the rails resulting in expensive, risky, and overly complex discovery efforts. An electronically stored information (ESI) agreement can help parties limit the scope of discovery, mitigate the risk of disputes, help reduce unnecessary spend, and ensure that the parties obtain the information necessary to reach an earlier resolution.

Microsoft Word Tools to Utilize as a Lawyer

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 16:30:00 GMT

Microsoft Word Tools to Utilize as a Lawyer

There are multiple tools that are beneficial to use as a lawyer. One of the most common and easily accessible tools is Microsoft Word. We’re going to dive into a few of the best functions and options you can utilize as a lawyer within Microsoft Word.

Comparing Two Documents

If you need to compare two documents to find the difference between them, good news for you. Microsoft Word has an option for that! You can use the legal blackline feature to compare documents and see the difference between two documents immediately. You can find this under the “Review” tab.

Learn Shortcut Keys

For lawyers, every minute counts. You can save a lot of time by using shortcut keys in Microsoft Word. Here are a few of the most commonly using shortcuts:

Ctrl + X : Cut

Ctrl + C : Copy

Ctrl + V : Paste

Ctrl + Shift + V : Paste unformatted

Ctrl + Z : Undo

Ctrl + Y : Redo

Ctrl + S : Save

Templates

One of the most popular features in Microsoft Word is using a template. Using templates will make it easier for you to precisely create legal documents. Some lawyers depend on copy and pasting document information, however that can lead to errors and confidentiality breaches if you recklessly fail to remove a previous client’s data. This is why templates are a good choice for legal document automation.

If you’re working with multiple associates, using Microsoft Word templates will ensure consistency of style from one colleague to another. By having one template for all attorneys in your office, you keep your branding message consistent and professional. Also, use Microsoft Word system fonts so that there is consistency in all of your documents no matter where it is opened. Having a specific font helps your branding and limits mistakes from happening. These are a few examples of tools you can utilize as a paralegal through Microsoft Word.

4 Microsoft Outlook Tips for Lawyers

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 16:30:00 GMT

4 Microsoft Outlook Tips for Lawyers

Digital marketing has changed throughout the years. However for lawyers and paralegals, email is still one of the foundational ways they communicate with their clients. When it comes to Microsoft Office, there’s a few tips and tricks that lawyers use to increase productivity and to communicate effectively. Let's go through a few tips to help you get started in Microsoft Outlook.

1) Learn Keyboard Shortcuts

Here are a few keyboard shortcuts to help navigate in Outlook:

Compose New Email
- Ctrl + N (Windows)
- Command + N (Mac)
Delete
- Ctrl + D (Windows)
- Command + Delete (Mac)
Send
- Ctrl + Enter (Windows)
- Command + Return (Mac)
Reply to Sender
- Ctrl + R (Windows)
- Command + R (Mac)
Flag for Follow Up
- Ctrl + Shift + G (Windows)
- Control + 1 (Mac)

2) Schedule Emails

Like any job, scheduling your time can be very beneficial to your schedule. Whether it’s a meeting with another individual or client, or scheduling out your day. One benefit to scheduling out your meetings could be avoiding giving the impression that you expect the recipient to respond on a weekend or in the dead of the night. Scheduling emails helps manage your schedule and time that you spend at work.

3) Flag Emails

The purpose of flagging an email is mainly for follow up purposes. Flags make it easy to add email messages to your to-do list. However, did you know you could also flag outgoing emails. When a response is time sensitive this can become a great strategy to use. Besides waiting on the recipient to respond, attach a flag for yourself to follow up with the recipient.

4) Signatures

Outlook gives you the opportunity to create a signature at the end of every email you send. To create your own custom signature, create a new message, click on “signature”, “new”, “label your signature”, and then create what you want! You can add images, emails, your signature, the options are endless. You can decide whether you want to include a signature on replies, forwards, or even include your law firm logo on them.

While these are only a few things to start learning through Outlook, we hope these three tips will help you get started in learning Outlook through a paralegal point of view.

Electronic Discovery – Custodians

One of the terms we use when working with electronic discovery is the term “custodian”. At the beginning of an electronic discovery matter, the attorneys will work closely with the client to identify key witnesses that have knowledge about documents that could be responsive to the document requests received from opposing counsel or investigative counsel. The individuals with specific knowledge about these certain documents will be identified and then the individuals who are in possession of these documents, as well as e-mail communications about these documents, will be identified as “custodians of data”.

Electronic Discovery – Culling

Simply defined, “culling” means creating a subset of documents from a larger dataset. Typically, the most common usage, within the electronic discovery workflow, for “culling” to take place, is after we have collected a bunch of data and before we begin a document review. The goal is to reduce the volume of documents we need to review for production, aka the document review stage. However, we also perform a “culling” process at any point during the discovery process when we start with a larger set of documents and eventually end up with a smaller subset of documents that are the most helpful.

Contactually - Client Relationship Management Software

Contactually is CRM (contact/client/customer relationship management) software well-suited to building and maintaining a network of legal clients and referral sources. Most CRM software is built around converting leads and winning or losing deals. That can work for a law practice if you have a client-acquisition strategy that looks like selling widgets, but it feels pretty clunky if what you want is help building and maintaining relationships, not closing sales. However, if you want help staying in touch with current and former clients and other referral sources, you should give Contactually a try. Here’s a quick overview of two of its best features: buckets and programs.

Why Lead Management Needs to Be Separate from Case Management

Business processes and legal work in particular should be divided up and managed independently, while maintaining a smooth and seamless integration between the two. Here are the major reasons why separating lead management from case management is an essential step toward better law firm operations, and how implementing a lead management system can help.

Benefits of Technology Assisted Document Review

Document review is a crucial phase in any drafting or collaboration process. To have complete confidence in the integrity and accuracy of our content, we need to ensure to identify any and all differences between versions. The editorial process begins with regression and the final product indicates progress. A document must be read, re-read and reviewed before it can be released. If it’s been released without the application of a document comparison tool, it’s highly unlikely the editor(s) picked up on every inaccuracy or version change; not to mention missed embedded objects and unchecked metadata threaten document integrity and your reputation.

Next time you send a client a report or business proposal, check whether the embedded objects in the document are acting as you expect. Better yet, try applying Change-Pro® or CitationWare® next time you create a document, and Metadact® before you send it.

MetaJure is an innovative way to share and search for documents. It allows its users to save documents without learning a new structure. How? MetaJure crawls throughout the folder tree, either on a local PC or a network share, looking for documents to index. These results then become public to those who have been granted the permission to view them within the firm’s network. This eliminates the need for manual profiling, data conversions, or migrations during a new install.

The way we interact with and use computers changes constantly - technology growth is exponential in today’s world. Yet certain industries are hesitant to adopt new technology en masse, unconvinced of its ability to work well within the structured framework of their daily activities. This usually stems from a lack of knowledge of exactly what the technology is and how it would be beneficial, and concern for potential security risks in moving away from current systems. One of these disconnects is cloud computing and the practice of law.

PacerPro is a Better Way to Use PACER

Without PACER, nearly all federal court filings would be effectively inaccessible. PacerPro is an alternative to PACER’s clunky user interface. PacerPro is still adding courts, but even as-is, PacerPro is light years better than using PACER. You can keep track of all your cases in one place, search multiple courts’ PACER databases from a single search box, get search results that actually give you the information you need, download an entire docket with one click, and much more. Even better, PacerPro won’t let users pay for a document more than once. If multiple users are watching the same docket, it will even run a round-robin to evenly distribute the PACER fees.

If you have anything to do with the federal courts, do yourself a favor and sign up for a free PacerPro account right now.

Setting Up Internal Roles on Files in Amicus Attorney 2015

Similarly to how you can label an expert witness or Plaintiff to a file, now you can label your firm members title or position on a file. You’ll no longer be questioning who is assigned to which files and who is the secondary chair or primary paralegal assigned. This is also helpful with precedents and workflows because you can now assign a precedent dynamically based on the role assigned on the case – instead of a specific person.

First Look: Intake123

While there are a lot of choices for legal practice management software, there are far fewer for client intake and customer relationship management (CRM). That’s unfortunate, because attorneys, like any other client-focused profession, need to be able to track people from the moment of initial contact to the signed retainer. Intake software should allow attorneys to systematize that process with standardized forms and other tools. Additionally, good intake/CRM software should also help attorneys measure the success of their marketing efforts by being able to see what types of lead generation or marketing campaigns lead to the greatest number of retained clients. Intake123 offers a broad range of standardized forms and ways to track clients through the sign-up process.

"But my own empirical analysis suggests that less than 5% of lawyers are at baseline competence in Word. The number who are baseline proficient in Excel is an order of magnitude lower. . . . I am all for creating more of them."

The Rise of the Tech-Savvy Lawyer.

"The tech-savvy lawyer need not have the ability to write programs in assembly language or understand x86 chip architecture. The main components of tech savviness are curiosity and accrued knowledge on how to get the most out of computers."

Future of Legal Tech

Is The Legal Tech Boom Over? It Hasn't Even Begun!

Is The Legal Tech Boom Over?

Review of Able2Extract version 10

Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:17:31 GMT

THE ALL-NEW ABLE2EXTRACT PDF CONVERTER IS HERE!

I have to admit, at first I was pretty hesitant to try a new PDF Converter program. My colleagues have joked that the only way to get me to stop using Nuance Enterprise is to pry it from my cold, dead hands. My love affair with Nuance Enterprise may be at an end now that I have a new program quickly converting my files (and my loyalty as well).

The main idea of Able2Extract v10 is the ability to accurately convert PDF to editable file formats (like Microsoft Word, or Excel) and use its advanced editing capabilities like review, comment, track changes and so on, to improve the content of the source PDFs. Able2Extract faithfully preserves PDF fonts, images and formatting during conversion. Not only that, but I was able to edit the PDF pages and text directly on the PDF. No longer will I need to convert my PDF to Word, make the edit, then print back to PDF.

THE FEATURES I LOVE

PDF TEXT EDITING

Able2Extract 10’s powerful editing features allow you to modify PDF text directly within multi-page reports, documents, and records. I was able to Select from standard font styles, change text colors, and alter different font sizes. Able2Extract beautifully matched the original text in my PDF document, which allowed my final document to look clean and professional instead of being a hodgepodge of mixed edits.

IMPROVED CUSTOM PDF TO EXCEL CONVERSION

I found the PDF to Excel conversion had amazing accuracy. Able2Extract's advanced conversion settings allowed me to modify and customize the PDF to Excel conversion with pinpoint spreadsheet accuracy.

EXPORT DIRECTLY TO CSV AND TSV

Able2Extract can directly export PDF to CSV (Comma Separated Values) format and TSV (Tab Separated Values) format. This allowed me to work instantly with raw text formats without having to export to Excel first. Time saved equals money earned!

COST

Pricing info for the software can be found here: Pricing Info

Able2Extract comes in two versions, Standard ($99.95) and Professional ($129.95). The main difference between the two is the professional version comes with an integrated OCR engine which allows converting image (scanned) PDF documents to Word or Excel.

SEE FOR YOURSELF

No need to just take my word for it, you can try it out yourself!
