Online calculators may ask for details like burn severity, treatment, and time away from work. But a tool can’t:
- Review hospital records, operative reports, or burn-center follow-ups
- Confirm whether your current symptoms match the burn pattern described in your chart
- Explain how South Carolina’s rules around credibility and causation affect what insurers accept
- Predict whether you’ll need scar management, additional procedures, or extended therapy
That matters because burn cases often change—sometimes weeks after the initial injury—especially when infections, nerve pain, or hypertrophic scarring develop.
