Groundbreaking Tool Ends the Guesswork in Lawsuit Valuation, Enabling Smarter Settlements and Fairer Outcomes for Insurers, Plaintiffs, and Attorneys
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / In March 2026, an Orlando jury awarded $644,751,855.08 to a man who fell down steps at a bar - a verdict dramatically out of step with similar premises liability cases. While such eye-popping awards often make headlines, they rarely reflect reality and are frequently reduced on appeal or remain uncollectible.
These outlier judgments contribute to what insurers call "Social Inflation," driving up insurance premiums for businesses and consumers alike. At the same time, many legitimate plaintiffs receive insufficient compensation. The result is a civil justice system plagued by inconsistency and unfairness.
"One of law's dirty secrets is that no one really knows what a lawsuit is truly worth," said Toby Unwin, Founder of Premonition.ai, the world's largest litigation database with over 325 million cases from 13 countries. "That is about to change."
Unwin founded Premonition.ai to test the old courthouse adage: "A good lawyer knows the law, a great one knows the judge." The company's groundbreaking work on judicial relationships generated widespread media coverage, including over 300 articles and television appearances.
Despite strong demand for an AI-powered tool to predict lawsuit outcomes, significant technical barriers had previously made it impossible - until now.
"Recent advances in artificial intelligence changed everything," Unwin explained. "We built Knowledge Graphs of legal domains, such as Florida Auto Law, and created expert Agentic AI systems capable of reading legal complaints, comparing them to hundreds of thousands of similar adjudicated cases, and explaining their reasoning in plain English."
Premonition.ai's database contains 1.722 billion court documents, including 14.99 million judgment documents with disclosed award amounts. This vast dataset has enabled the creation of a powerful new AI system that can deliver accurate, data-driven estimates of a case's likely value.
"Producing reliable case valuations allows us to finally benchmark legal outcomes," said Unwin. "This makes the system fairer for everyone. Parties can negotiate more effectively, avoid unnecessary trials, and justify post-verdict relief like Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict (JNOV) or appeals when awards fall far outside established norms."
Premonition President Robert Pola is currently in advanced discussions with leading legal technology companies to bring the new product to market through strategic partnerships.
"Premonition's core strength is its technology," said Pola. "A trial lawyer armed with a detailed, data-backed valuation report will have a significant advantage. We believe this tool will rapidly become the industry standard - you won't go to court without it."
