An AI calculator typically produces a number based on inputs like injury type, treatment length, and time missed from work. That can be useful when you’re trying to plan for uncertainty.
But in real Oakdale cases, insurers often argue over:
- Causation (whether the crash truly caused every symptom)
- Documentation gaps (whether treatment matches what was reported)
- Comparative fault (Minnesota’s fault rules can reduce recovery if you’re partly responsible)
- Credibility (inconsistencies between early statements, photos, and medical notes)
So treat an AI result as a starting point—not a forecast—and not as the settlement offer you should accept.
