AI calculators can be a helpful starting point, but they usually don’t “see” the same things your claim needs—especially in spinal cord injury cases.
In practice, insurers will look for proof of:
- What exactly happened (including fault and causation)
- Neurological findings documented over time
- Functional limitations (mobility, transfers, bowel/bladder care, breathing risk, skin risk)
- A defensible future care timeline (not just current bills)
AI tools typically work from broad categories and simplified inputs. If your inputs are even slightly off—injury completeness, timeline to maximum medical improvement, or daily assistance needs—the estimate can shift dramatically.
Frederick-specific reality: local cases often involve collisions where liability is contested around factors like speed, lane position, distracted driving, and whether the other driver followed traffic control rules (including during periods of increased road activity). If fault isn’t clearly supported, even the most “severe” diagnosis may not translate into a strong valuation.
