An AI tool can be a starting point. It may prompt you to think about categories like medical costs, lost income, and the long-term impact of scarring or reduced mobility.
However, an estimate is often only as good as the inputs. Two people can enter the same “burn severity” into a tool and still have very different outcomes because:
- One person’s records show complications (infection, hypertrophic scarring, nerve pain) while another’s do not.
- One person can return to modified duty; another is limited from work longer.
- One claim has clear incident documentation; another relies on incomplete timelines.
In other words, the most important details in your Hesperia case are usually the least visible to an AI model: operative reports, burn-depth documentation, treatment consistency, and prognosis.
