How AI is Changing Insurance Claims—and What That Means for Injury Victims in South Carolina

If you’ve ever filed an insurance claim after a car accident, slip and fall, or other injury, you know how frustrating the process can be. Insurance companies are notorious for delays, confusing jargon, and lowball settlement offers. Now, major insurers like Allstate are taking this a step further by using artificial intelligence (AI) to handle claims communications. But is this really in the best interest of injury victims—or just another way for insurance companies to protect their bottom line?

At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we help injury victims in Lexington and Columbia, South Carolina, fight for the compensation they deserve. We offer free consultations and handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Our fees are computed before costs are subtracted from any recovery.

If you or a loved one has been injured, call us today at (803) 359-3301 to discuss your case.

Insurance Companies Are Automating Claims – But Who Benefits?

A recent report revealed that Allstate now uses AI-generated emails to communicate with customers after they file claims. According to Allstate’s Chief Information Officer, the goal is to make emails less confusing and more empathetic by removing industry jargon and avoiding harsh language.

While that may sound like an improvement, the real question is:

Does AI actually help injury victims, or is it just a new way for insurers to control the claims process?

At the end of the day, AI doesn’t change the fact that insurance companies are still focused on limiting payouts and protecting profits. Now, instead of a human adjuster delaying, denying, or lowballing your claim, you might receive a polite AI-generated email doing the same thing.

AI Won’t Fight for Your Rights—But We Will

Insurance companies are not on your side. They use complex algorithms, automated claims processing, and now AI-written communication to pressure injury victims into accepting fast, undervalued settlements.

Some insurers have even been caught using AI to deny claims entirely. This means that if you don’t have an attorney looking out for you, you could be at a serious disadvantage.

At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we understand the tactics insurance companies use, and we work aggressively to make sure our clients get full and fair compensation for their injuries. We don’t let AI—or insurance adjusters—dictate the value of your case.

Why You Should Never Accept a Quick Settlement Offer

If you’ve been injured, you may receive an early settlement offer from the insurance company—possibly even through an AI-generated email. These offers are almost always far lower than what your case is actually worth.

Once you accept a settlement, you give up your right to seek additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. Before accepting any offer, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you:

  • Determine whether or not you have a case
  • Determine the true value of your case
  • Negotiate for the maximum compensation available
  • Help you negotiate reductions of any medical liens
  • Take your case to court if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement

No Upfront Fees—You Pay Nothing Unless We Win

At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means:

  • It doesn’t cost anything to speak to us about your case
  • You don’t have to pay anything up front to hire us
  • We’re only paid if money is recovered for you

When we accept an injury case, such as an automobile accident or work accident case, attorney’s fees are calculated based on the amount of settlement or recovery obtained for our client. Costs are then subtracted from that amount.

This ensures that anyone who has been injured can afford quality legal representation—without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses.

Don’t Let an Insurance Company—or Its AI—Decide What Your Case Is Worth

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve real legal representation—not an automated, AI-driven claims process designed to minimize payouts. Insurance companies have powerful technology and legal teams working against you, but we are here to fight for your rights.

At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we fight for injured clients throughout Lexington and Columbia, South Carolina. We offer free consultations, charge no upfront fees, and only get paid if we win your case.
