What shapes California settlement values
A pure comparative state. Alameda and Los Angeles County juries are jurisdiction-best for plaintiff outcomes; San Diego runs notably more conservative. Dense data — confidence bands are tight.

Plaintiff recovers reduced by their share of fault, even at 99% fault.
Los Angeles County

How California compares to other tort states
The California median MVA settlement of $305,000 sits above the national tort-state median. Both MVA and PL fold cleanly into the calibrated dataset.
How we know the number holds
On a held-out test set of cases the model never trained on, Predict's valuations come within 90 to 92% of the realized settlement (median absolute percentage error), each shown with a 90% confidence band. The number is the headline; the band is the methodology. See the full validation and per-state calibration →
What the free prediction includes, and what the trial adds
The number above is a real prediction from the Predict model, jurisdiction-tuned to California and shown with its 90% confidence band. The free version uses the primary signals: case type, jurisdiction, injury severity, and liability. The 14-day trial loads your actual intake case and adds the comparable-verdict cohort behind the number, firm-level counsel history, and judge-composition signals, then exports a demand-ready summary. Same model. More of your case in it. Start the trial to load a real case from your intake pipeline.
Compare to other states.
Same fact pattern, different jurisdiction. Delta is calculated against California's $305K median MVA settlement.
