AI-based tools typically work like a “damage range” generator. They may ask for details such as injury severity, age, treatment type, and basic care needs—then produce a number or bracket. That can feel reassuring when you want to know whether your settlement could realistically cover:
- ongoing therapy and rehabilitation
- durable medical equipment and home accessibility needs
- lost income and reduced earning capacity
- assistance with daily living
However, the biggest limitation is visibility. An AI tool usually can’t review the medical record the way a lawyer and medical team can. For spinal cord injuries, small differences in what was documented early—neurological findings, functional limitations, imaging results, and complication risk—can meaningfully change the value of a case.
In other words: AI can point you toward questions. It can’t replace a case-specific evaluation.
