ProPlaintiff V3 and the Rise of Agentic AI for PI Firms

In 2025, ProPlaintiff launched Version 3 (V3), transforming the platform from a powerful drafting assistant into an agentic AI operating system designed for personal injury attorneys.

At the heart of this upgrade is the AI Paralegal, a tool designed to handle everything from drafting motions and summarizing depositions to analyzing medical reports and reviewing video evidence. But V3 goes beyond that, introducing source citations, templates, case management dashboards, and intelligent automation that make AI feel less like a chatbot and more like a trusted team member.

The real question is how you can use it most effectively. Below are best practices that will help attorneys unlock the full potential of ProPlaintiff’s AI Paralegal.

Why ProPlaintiff’s AI Paralegal Matters

Most AI tools are general-purpose chatbots, but ProPlaintiff’s AI Paralegal was trained on legal information provided by the Free Law Project, which maintains one of the largest open-access collections of U.S. case law. This foundation ensures the AI understands the nuances of personal injury litigation and produces drafts grounded in real legal precedent.

For attorneys, this means that motions, interrogatories, and summaries are not only fast but also informed by relevant case law and sound legal reasoning.

On top of its legal knowledge base, ProPlaintiff is HIPAA & SOC-2 compliant, so client data stays confidential and secure. The result is a tool that acts as a force multiplier: handling repetitive, research-heavy tasks while attorneys stay focused on strategy and advocacy.

Best Practices: Getting the Most Out of ProPlaintiff’s AI Paralegal

ProPlaintiff’s AI Paralegal excels at drafting, summarizing, and refining legal documents. To get the best results, here are 8 great ways to use it, as well as the prompts that unlock its strengths:

  1. Draft lien reduction letters
    👉 Prompt: “Draft a lien reduction letter for a $5,000 bill from St. Mary’s Hospital for client John Doe, accident date May 2, 2024.”

  2. Mass-draft interrogatories
    👉 Prompt: “Generate 10 interrogatories related to liability in a rear-end collision, Arizona jurisdiction.”

  3. Find case law
    👉 Prompt: “Summarize three recent Arizona appellate cases on negligence in rear-end collisions, with key takeaways for deposition prep.”

  4. Draft a motion
    👉 Prompt: “Draft a Motion to Compel Discovery for case Smith v. Jones, Arizona Superior Court, focusing on medical records not yet provided.”

  5. Create a subpoena
    👉 Prompt: “Draft a subpoena duces tecum for medical records from Banner Health, Arizona jurisdiction.”

  6. Draft a mediation letter
    👉 Prompt: “Draft a mediation letter outlining damages, liability, and case strengths for a motor vehicle accident claim involving a rear-end collision.”

  7. Reword an angry email to opposing counsel
    👉 Prompt: “Rewrite this email to opposing counsel in a professional but firm tone: [insert email].”

  8. Help you find the best spot for lunch (yes, even that!)
    👉 Prompt: “Suggest three lunch spots within walking distance of downtown Phoenix that are quick and attorney-friendly.”

What It Can’t Do ❌

To get the most out of the tool, it’s just as important to understand its limits:

  • Create new cases in your system.

  • Draft brand-new templates — it works with what’s already available.

  • Perform external actions like sending emails or scheduling meetings.

  • Draft hi-res demand letters (handled by ProPlaintiff’s separate Demand Letter tool).

  • Add tasks or calendar events in your case management software.

By framing prompts with context (jurisdiction, case details, desired tone, and format), you’ll consistently receive outputs that are polished and close to ready-to-use.

The Future of ProPlaintiff.ai

ProPlaintiff Version 3 is just the beginning. The roadmap includes smarter agentic AI capabilities that will allow the platform to take on more proactive legal tasks, expanded automation for personal injury workflows, and improved analytics to give firms deeper insights into performance.

Future updates will continue to refine drafting accuracy, strengthen integrations with case management tools, and expand the library of templates and citation support. For attorneys, this means the AI Paralegal will keep evolving into a more powerful partner — not just assisting with repetitive drafting, but becoming a core part of how modern firms operate and compete.

FAQs

Will AI replace paralegals or attorneys?
No. The AI Paralegal is designed to handle repetitive drafting and research tasks, not replace the judgment, strategy, and advocacy that only trained legal professionals can provide.

Is ProPlaintiff secure for client data?
Yes. ProPlaintiff is HIPAA and SOC-2 compliant, and none of your firm’s data is used to train external AI models. Confidentiality is protected at every step.

What tasks does it handle best?
It excels at drafting lien reduction letters, interrogatories, motions, subpoenas, mediation letters, summarizing depositions, and rewording professional communications.

What are its limitations?
It cannot create new cases, draft entirely new templates, schedule meetings, send emails, or generate hi-res demand letters. For those tasks, it works best as a complement to your existing case management systems.

How do I get the best results from it?
Be specific with your prompts. Include details like jurisdiction, case type, and tone. The more information you provide, the closer the draft will be to your final product.
