AI tools typically generate a range based on generalized patterns—injury severity, age, and a few other inputs. That can be useful for understanding what categories may matter.
However, spinal cord injury outcomes vary dramatically based on details that AI calculators usually don’t see, such as:
- whether your impairment is complete vs. incomplete
- complications that can follow traumatic injury (skin breakdown risks, respiratory issues, spasticity)
- whether imaging and neurologic testing clearly connect the accident to the spinal damage
- what your functional limitations are today and how they’re expected to change
In Cabot, where many residents drive long commutes and work in logistics, construction, and industrial settings, cases also depend heavily on incident reconstruction, witness accounts, and employer/property documentation. Those evidence details can shift liability and settlement value more than a calculator’s “typical outcome” model.
