Most AI tools generate a rough range using simplified inputs. That range may feel comforting, but it can miss how adjusters in our area evaluate spinal cord injuries:
- They discount what isn’t documented. If your functional limitations, care needs, or prognosis aren’t supported by medical records and consistent notes, the “future” part of the estimate usually shrinks.
- They weigh causation like a puzzle. In cases involving delayed symptoms, pre-existing conditions, or multiple medical visits, insurers look for a clear connection between the event and the neurological injury.
- They price risk, not just diagnosis labels. Even when the injury is serious, settlement value often turns on how confident experts are and whether the defense has credible arguments.
Bottom line: Treat an AI output as a starting point for questions—not a promise of what a settlement will be.
