AI estimates often assume “typical” outcomes. Real burn cases in Mobile can deviate quickly because:
- Industrial and residential conditions overlap. A worker may be treated at an emergency facility, then continue care through follow-ups that insurers question.
- Complications can emerge later. Infection, hypertrophic scarring, nerve pain, or reduced range of motion may not be obvious in the first weeks.
- Liability may be split. In Alabama, multiple parties can sometimes be involved (employer safety practices, equipment maintenance, property conditions, supplier issues). An AI tool can’t sort that out.
That means a calculator might produce a number that feels “too low” or “too high,” depending on what it assumes about the severity, treatment course, and causation.
