After a spinal cord injury, uncertainty is constant: you may be facing new medical schedules, caregiver needs, mobility changes, and questions about whether you’ll return to work.
AI calculators often provide a quick “ballpark” because they try to map common spinal injury outcomes to categories like:
- immediate medical treatment
- rehabilitation and therapy
- assistive devices
- future care and supervision
- lost income or reduced earning capacity
That can be emotionally grounding—until you realize the estimate can’t fully reflect the facts insurers will scrutinize in a Michigan claim.
