Test a motor-injury tort claim against the serious-injury definition
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the diagnoses the lawyer lists, set each injury against the words of the serious-injury definition and leave a blank where the file does not say which word is relied on. Do not classify the injury and do not say that tort damages are available. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, New York.
- What the lawyer must review
- New York Insurance Law § 5102(d) defines serious injury as a personal injury which results in death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, a fracture, loss of a fetus, permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system, permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member, or significant limitation of use of a body function or system. CPLR § 1411(b) uses article 51 of the Insurance Law as the class of personal-injury actions in which greater culpable conduct bars recovery. You decide whether the injury meets § 5102(d) and what that does to a tort claim. There is no national motor-accident threshold. Do not use a soft-tissue or threshold-psychiatric category from a state scheme you have not opened. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, New York.
