Online tools are usually built to estimate damages categories based on inputs like burn severity, time off work, and treatment type. In practice, the “missing piece” is the evidence connecting your injuries to the incident.
A calculator cannot:
- confirm how deep your burn was (which affects healing and long-term treatment)
- predict whether you’ll need additional procedures later
- evaluate credibility issues that insurers often raise in injury claims
- interpret medical causation (especially if there are gaps in records)
A calculator can be useful if you use it as a checklist—so you gather the right documents and ask the right questions when you speak with an attorney.
