This article summarizes two distinct but important trends: the increasing adoption of AI in personal injury law and the enforcement of school zone speed limits to ensure student safety.
### AI in Personal Injury Law Personal injury lawyers are finding AI useful for tasks such as summarizing medical records, drafting correspondence, and even marketing. The most common AI tasks include drafting correspondence (52%), brainstorming (46%), and drafting documents (39%). While only a small subset of lawyers are heavy AI users (14% daily, 16% weekly), the versatility of the technology is evident.
Many PI firms expect increased productivity (61%) and cost savings (44%) from AI. A significant number believe AI will replace outsourced work (19% vs. 12% overall), given the routine tasks in PI practices.
### School Zone Speed Enforcement Spokane, WA, is using photo speed cameras in school zones to catch speeding drivers. In May 2025, the camera near Ferris High School issued over 700 tickets. These tickets can be expensive, and school zone infractions cannot be waived or reduced.
The revenue from these tickets funds the cameras, a traffic patrol officer's salary, and traffic calming projects. The city expects to make over $4 million from these tickets in 2025.
Comox Valley Schools in BC are also reminding drivers to slow down in school zones, where speed limits are typically 30 km/h or 40 km/h from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Road safety is a shared responsibility, with drivers carrying the greatest duty of care.
