Compliance & Legal Notices

The short version

Worth Suing? gives you legal information, not legal advice. There's a real difference. Here's what that means, why it matters, and how we've built the product around it.

What Worth Suing? is and what it isn't

What we are

  • A tool that tells you what the law says about what happened to you.
  • A benchmark of what similar cases have actually resolved for, drawn from public data.
  • A read on whether your situation is worth pursuing, and what it might be worth.
  • A starting point. Not a finish line.

What we aren't

  • A law firm.
  • A substitute for a licensed attorney.
  • Anyone's attorney of record.
  • Legal advice about your specific case.
Legal information vs Legal advice: The line that runs through everything

Every state in the US recognizes the same foundational distinction. Legal information is general and educational. It explains what the law says. Legal advice takes that law and applies it to a specific person's unique situation to tell them what they should do. Only licensed attorneys can give legal advice.

Worth Suing? is built around that line. Every output the product produces is legal information. The line isn't a disclaimer we added at the bottom. It's the architecture of the product.

The four rules

Every consumer output on Worth Suing? follows four structural rules. These are how we stay on the right side of the line, in every state.

01. We explain what the law says. We don't apply it to you.

We describe what the law requires, how courts have interpreted statutes, what elements a claim needs to meet. We say things like "In Florida, a wrongful termination claim requires X, Y, and Z." We don't say "you have a strong wrongful termination claim." One is education. The other is advice. We only do the first.

02. We show benchmarks. We don't value your case.

Our recovery ranges are drawn from comparable cases that have actually resolved: public verdicts, published settlements, statutory damage formulas. We frame them as ranges from similar situations, like "Cases like yours have settled for $X to $Y." We never say "your case is worth $X." That would be a legal opinion, and it isn't ours to give.

03. We describe how things work. We don't tell you what to do.

We explain how courts work, what deadlines exist, what steps other people in similar situations have taken. We say "Courts in your state require..." and "People in your situation typically..." We don't say "you should file by this date" or "you should take this step." The roadmap is descriptive. Your decisions are yours.

04. When it's advice you need, we say so.

Some situations call for actual legal advice from a licensed attorney working on your specific case. When that's the right move, we say it. We route you to the resources for finding one. We don't try to be one.

What appears on every report

Every free assessment and every paid deep-dive includes this notice:

This report provides legal information only. It is not legal advice, not a legal opinion, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Worth Suing? is not a law firm. All information is drawn from publicly available law and comparable case data. Consult a licensed attorney regarding your specific situation before taking any legal action.

Every recovery range includes this notice:

Educational benchmark only. Drawn from comparable case outcomes. Not a prediction. Not a guarantee. Every case is different.

Not fine print buried in a footer. Present on every output, every time.

No attorney-client relationship

Using Worth Suing? does not make us your lawyer. There is no attorney-client privilege in your interaction with the site. If you need something protected by privilege, you need a licensed attorney and a signed engagement.

About the AI

Worth Suing? uses machine learning to help interpret what you tell us and to compare it to public case data. A few things to know about that:

  • The AI is helping us pattern-match, not making legal judgments. The frameworks, rules, and rulings all come from public law. The AI's job is to compare your description to similar cases and surface what applies.
  • AI has limits. It can miss nuance. It can miss facts you didn't mention. It can miss facts you didn't know mattered.
  • Verify what matters. For anything time-sensitive or high-stakes, cross-check with a licensed attorney and with official sources (state statutes, court records, government agencies).

We think the AI is genuinely useful. We also think you should treat its output the way you'd treat a knowledgeable friend's opinion: worth listening to, worth checking.

Comparable-case data

Personal-injury comparable-case ranges shown in the paid report are drawn from SetCalc Personal Injury Verdict & Settlement Database (CC BY 4.0), licensed under CC BY 4.0. We only use SetCalc's aggregate statistics endpoint - percentiles for a filtered slice of real cases - so the report can show a spread of real outcomes without exposing or promising a single figure.

State coverage

We're launching Worth Suing? state by state. Not because we're being cautious for its own sake, but because the law is genuinely different in each state, and a "yes" in Florida might be a "no" in New York. We won't tell you something works in your state unless we've done the review.

Live now

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin.

Our free assessment and paid deep-dive are fully operational in these states, across our covered practice areas.

In review, launching soon

We're actively reviewing additional states on a rolling basis as counsel review completes. Users in these states are added to the waitlist and notified when we go live.

Held for separate review

California has the broadest unauthorized-practice-of-law statute in the country and specific new AI regulations taking effect in 2027. We're building California-specific compliance before we launch there.

New York has one of the most complex UPL frameworks in the country, with UPL classified as a felony, plus new state AI laws. We're evaluating separately with New York counsel before launching.

Missouri, New Jersey, District of Columbia. Three states where local counsel review is warranted before launch. Users in these states are on the waitlist.

For users in any state we haven't launched in: we won't give you a state-specific verdict. You'll be routed to the waitlist and to your state's bar association referral service if you need immediate help.

Special notes for time-sensitive situations

Some legal problems have hard deadlines. Statutes of limitations. Filing windows. Response requirements. If you're near one, don't rely on us as your only input. Talk to a licensed attorney immediately. Our tool can help you understand what the deadline is. Only an attorney can help you meet it.

Your data

We take your privacy seriously. The details are in our Privacy Policy. The short version:

  • We don't share your case details with third parties.
  • We don't sell your information.
  • Payment processing is handled by Polar. We don't store your card details.
  • If you want your data deleted, email us and we'll do it.

Important: don't include confidential information in your assessment that you wouldn't be comfortable sharing more broadly. There's no attorney-client privilege in what you tell us. If you're describing a situation that involves other people, use judgment about what to share.

Questions

We built this because the existing legal system is opaque, expensive, and treats regular people like they should figure it out themselves. Compliance is the other side of that mission: being clear about what we are and aren't, in language that isn't itself opaque.

If you have questions about how any of this works, or you think we've drifted from any of the rules above, tell us: [email protected]. We take that seriously.
