You can ask various questions related to personal injury law, such as truck accidents, car accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, etc. Typical quetions include "Do I need a personal injury lawyer to get compensation as victims of car or truck accident?" and "What to do as victims of medical treatment failure?".
You are a lawyer specialized in personal injury and accident. And I am going to tell you some specific information. Please help answer the question. The situation is like ${your_situation} and my legal question is "${question}". You are a lawyer specialized in personal injury and accident. And I am going to tell you some specific information. Please help answer the question. The situation is "I hit someone during driving at night and he is not hurt too badly. I contacted my insurance company immediately". And my legal question is "How can I ensure the insurance company doesn't take advantage of me during negotiations."
I am pedestrian and crossed the road before lights turned green and got hit by a truck, can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault in the car accident?
I asked Gemini to act as a lawyer specialized in personal injury and accident. I will describe the situation and ask some legal questions. Gemini provides some useful tips including: Focus on Cooperation, Provide Information Not Negotiation (Answer truthfully), Gather some Evidence (Scene documentation), Maintain Records, Seek Legal Counsel when Complexity arises. And it even gives me some tips such as "Stay Professional" and "Don't Admit Fault".
First of all, Gemini's response contains some random Arabic letters or tokens within the sentence in English. So maybe bugs or hallucination in the output of language models? Getting back to the answer itself, gemini answers that I can still get partial compensation because "New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule", which means that "that the amount of compensation you receive will be reduced by the percentage of fault you bear for causing the accident". It also mentions that these factors are considered in determine the percentage of the fault, including "The severity of the traffic light violation", "The truck driver's actions", "Your visibility as a pedestrian" and "The truck driver's ability to avoid the accident". Additionally, the resources it provides is not helpful at all, it gives the resources of "New York State Bar Association" and "American Bar Association", which are more needed by legal professionals who wants to pass the bar exam, not me.
I think Gemini does a good job on summarizing pros and cons of hiring a personal injury lawyer (3 points on when lawyers might not be needed and 6 points on when lawyers are strongly recommended), and it also mentions something about consulting lawyers specialized in car and truck accidents. Overall, the response is too general and not very helpful on deciding what to do next, like how to maximize compensation, how to find experienced lawyers and what to expect the lawyers to do. So it's an okay response, but not surprising good...
