Most AI calculators work by taking a few inputs—injury description, medical treatment, and sometimes whether there’s a visible wound—and then projecting a compensation range based on patterns. That can help you ask better questions, like whether your situation is likely to involve medical bills, scarring-related concerns, or time off work.
But Eugene claims frequently depend on evidence that’s hard to capture in a questionnaire, such as:
- Which person had control of the dog at the moment of the bite (walker, owner, handler)
- What the dog was doing right before the incident (leash behavior, approach, warning)
- How quickly treatment was sought and documented
- Whether the dog’s history or prior incidents are known
Because of those factors, the number from a calculator should be treated as a starting point—not a prediction of what an insurer will pay.
