Burn injuries can look straightforward at first—like a scald from hot water or a flash burn from equipment—but the long-term picture can change. In practice, insurers in NJ tend to focus on whether the record shows:
- The burn’s cause matches what you say happened
- Treatment followed medical advice (and when it started)
- Symptoms progressed in a way consistent with the injury described
- Functional limits are documented (mobility, sensation, ability to work)
That means an AI tool’s estimate is only a starting point. The strongest cases are built from hospital and follow-up records, photos taken during treatment (when available), medication history, and proof of how the burn changed your ability to work.
