In 2025, AI is going to be part of the fabric of how law is practiced making it more efficient.
Tasks that once took hours of manual work—like reviewing documents, conducting legal research, and drafting contracts—are going to get a lot faster.
Tools like Relativity for e-discovery and Harvey for contract analysis are already cutting down the time it takes to do these tasks from hours or even days to mere minutes.
AI can help in sifting through medical records and police reports in a fraction of the time, making it easy to find important information.
As AI takes over more of the repetitive tasks, we’re going to see a shift toward flat fees or performance-based pricing.
By adopting AI early, smaller personal injury law firms can offer lower rates without compromising the quality of service.
Tools like Ironclad and Lawgeex are helping smaller firms automate processes like contract review and legal research making it available to firms of all sizes.
AI is going to take over the grunt work – but it is not going to replace the human touch. Clients still need someone to explain the law.
Your role as a personal injury lawyer will become even more valuable in this AI-driven world. You will be the one to make the big decisions – strategize for your clients.
AI is going to change the way we work, no doubt about it. But if you start using it now – you will have a big leg up in the future.
