Free Tool · Evidence Checker
Pick your case type, answer three short questions, and check the items you already have. We'll show you what's typically documented for cases like yours, what's missing from the file, and what's commonly done next — in plain language, no legalese.
The tool
Don't worry about whether it's “good enough” — if you have it, check it. Items are weighted by how much they typically move the needle in a truck accident case.
How this tool works
Caseworth's intake team reviewed how firms across our network actually triage incoming matters. Three signals showed up consistently: which items you have, how clear fault is, and how recent the incident is. We turned that into a deterministic score — no AI, no vague answers — so you get a reliable baseline before you talk to anyone.
Evidence guides
Different cases hinge on different evidence. A great surveillance video is everything in a slip-and-fall and only context in a medical-malpractice claim. Pick a case type to load it into the tool above:
Crashes between passenger vehicles — the most common personal-injury matter in the U.S.
Crashes involving commercial trucks — federal rules and corporate defendants raise the stakes.
Bias against motorcyclists is real — strong evidence carries even more weight here.
Vehicle vs. person on foot or bicycle — injuries are usually severe.
Injuries on someone else's property — stores, sidewalks, apartment buildings, restaurants.
Substandard care that caused injury — misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes.
Death caused by another's negligent or wrongful act — the family pursues the claim.
Injury from a defective product — manufacturing defect, design defect, or failure to warn.
On-the-job injuries — a no-fault system with strict notice requirements.
Bites and attacks — many states impose strict liability on the animal's owner.
Harm to a resident — physical, financial, or from neglect like pressure sores or falls.
Adverse actions tied to a protected class, retaliation, or breach of contract.
Frequently asked
Yes. There's nothing to sign up for, no credit card, no email required to use it. Caseworth's business is bridging people to firms when they're ready — the checker is a free tool we built because the question "is my evidence good enough?" comes up in nearly every intake conversation we have.
Each piece of evidence is weighted 1–5 based on how much it typically moves the needle for your specific case type. The base score is the sum of weights you have, divided by the maximum possible. Three qualifiers — injury severity, fault clarity, and time since incident — apply small multipliers. The result is bucketed into Comprehensive, Substantial, Developing, or Not Started. It is deterministic: the same inputs always produce the same score.
No. The score reflects how complete your evidence stack is — not the value of your damages. Two people with identical evidence stacks can have wildly different case values depending on injury severity, jurisdiction, and the defendant's coverage limits. For a value range, use our Lexstimate tool or speak with a firm directly.
Don't write off the case. Many evidence items can still be requested or reconstructed weeks or months after an incident — police reports, medical records, surveillance video, and witness statements among them. The checker's gap analysis tells you what's worth pursuing first.
Nothing you check on this page is sent to our servers. The score is calculated entirely in your browser. If you choose to bridge to a firm, we ask only for the information needed to make that connection — and only then.
Caseworth is a national platform rolling out state by state. The evidence that matters most is largely consistent across jurisdictions; statutes of limitation and a few procedural rules vary. When you bridge to a firm, jurisdictional fit is the first thing we check.
No. This is legal information, not legal advice. Using this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Caseworth or any firm. For advice on your specific situation, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
Only if you choose to share it. The checker runs locally; no firm sees your inputs unless you bridge to one and explicitly send your stack along.
