Harlan analyzes 20 intelligence modules including jurisdiction-specific verdict history, judge tendencies, damage caps, and comparable outcomes from 439+ real cases. While no tool can guarantee exact outcomes, our valuations provide a data-driven range grounded in actual case data, comparable verdicts from the same jurisdiction, and structured analysis of every factor that influences case value. This is fundamentally different from rough multiplier estimates or gut-feel assessments.

Every comparable case is drawn from our database of 439+ real, publicly documented court outcomes with verifiable citations. We source from court records, verdict reporters, and legal publications. Harlan uses zero AI-generated or hallucinated cases. Every verdict is traceable to its original source. This is a core principle of the platform.

Harlan supports all civil litigation practice areas including personal injury (motor vehicle, premises liability, medical malpractice, product liability, workplace accidents), employment law, insurance bad faith, wrongful death, construction accidents, nursing home abuse, and more. Our verdict database spans 114+ practice areas across all 50 US states, DC, and federal courts.

Yes. Our verdict database covers all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and federal courts. Every state has at least 5 real, verified verdicts in the database.

We add new verified verdicts regularly. The database currently contains 439+ verdicts across 114+ practice areas and is growing. Each verdict is manually verified against court records, verdict reporters, and legal publications before being added. We prioritize recent outcomes and landmark cases across all practice areas.
