In spinal cord cases, the difference between “a serious injury” and a settlement that reflects lifetime needs usually comes down to documentation: neurological findings, functional limits, and a credible plan for future care.
AI calculators typically work from general patterns and the information you type in. That’s not the same as a review of:
- your MRI/CT results and neurologic exams
- the medical notes that describe impairment in practical terms
- therapy records and changes over time (not just the first prognosis)
- equipment and home/work limitations
For Alachua residents involved in traffic accidents, that matters because insurers often focus on what happened “that day” rather than what your body can and can’t do now. Without strong records, an AI tool’s broad estimate can mislead you into thinking your case value is either higher or lower than what the evidence supports.
