Generative AI tools are everywhere, and more are coming online or announcing every day. Finding AI prompts for injury lawyers can help you use these tools more effectively. At Rock Bound Marketing, we’ve been experimenting with AI tools and learning some tips and tricks that we think can help injury lawyers use the tools better. Here are some helpful AI prompts for injury lawyers that we’ve discovered.

Common AI Tools For Injury Lawyers

If you aren’t using any AI tools currently, that’s ok. Here are some common ones that you can use for free or a small fee to test:

• ChatGPT – This is the fastest growing AI tool in the world, they offer a free version of their ChatGPT 3.5 product and a paid version of Chat GPT 4
• Bing Chat – You may already have this activated on your Windows computer or have seen it when you go to Bing on a Microsoft Edge browser.
• Google Bard – Google Bard is in Beta but you can sign up for it and use it. Google also has Bard features in the Google Workspace tools.
• There are many more tools out there, and some specific to lawyers such as: Spellbook, SiftMed, and EvenUp.

General Tips For Using Prompt Based AI

Chat prompt based AI tools are excellent and relatively easy to use. Think of them like a back and forth chat with an old friend. Be descriptive and explain the scenario you are in, and what you want to do. For example, here is a prompt that I can use to help write an email to a client that is missing medical appointments:

This prompt created the following response from Chat GPT 4, I also asked it to code the email in HTML so that it presents on the blog better:

As you can see, it took a descriptive prompt and in one reply crafted an email you can now edit, or even send directly. I will now go through the general tips to craft excellent prompts you can use.

Making Awesome AI Prompts For Injury Lawyers

To make great prompts that will deliver outputs that are useful to you consider the following:

• Be Specific – You will notice in my sample prompt. I said I was an injury lawyer, and the issue with the client, and exactly what I was looking for. Most tools can handle large blocks of text, so include as much information as possible.
• Start Broad then Narrow Down – While starting specific is great for defined tasks, sometimes you need to start broader and then narrow down the prompt. For example, start with a broad question like and then based on the response ask a more detailed question.
• Use Examples – If you have something completed already that you need changed, then include that as an example. You can also use examples like, “imagine a client has a personal injury law consultation coming up in 30 minutes, what are some questions they’d likely ask”. This prompt could help you prepare for your consultation.
• Summarize Your Intent – If you want a list as the response, or a paragraph, or in the case of my sample prompt an email, say that. For example, “I am looking for a short email to wish my staff a Happy Thanksgiving.”
• Iterative Approach – I eluded to this previously with the start broad and narrow down approach. However, you can also iterate on each prompt and and ask follow-up questions. Often, you’ll be made aware of a situation that you didn’t consider and need to iterate your prompt to get the best response.
• Set Boundaries – This is key for injury law queries. For example, if you want to discuss injuries but not workplace injuries, tell the AI tool to not mention or include any discussion of workplace injuries.
• Stay Informed – Make sure that you are following your regions best practices with respect to data privacy, data location, and using AI in general.
• Be Careful – Many AI tools are still plagued with “hallucinations” where they make up things that they don’t know or they apply their models improperly. Do your own research if something seems a little off or out of date.
