Most calculators ask for basic information like:
- what happened in the crash
- where and how you were injured
- what treatment you received (or expect)
- time missed from work
Then the tool compares your inputs to patterns from other cases and produces a generalized estimate.
Where this helps in Sandy: if you already know your medical bills, missed wages, and the expected duration of treatment, an AI estimate can help you sanity-check whether your claim is likely being undervalued—or whether you may be missing categories like follow-up care, mobility limitations, or out-of-pocket expenses.
Where it can mislead: if your injury severity is still evolving, if you have gaps in treatment, or if liability is disputed (common in lane/visibility disputes), the estimate may not reflect how Oregon insurers actually evaluate evidence.
