Many AI tools generate a broad range based on simplified inputs (injury type, severity category, age, and a few care assumptions). That approach struggles with the details that matter most in spinal cord cases:
- Missouri accident records and timelines: Whether symptoms appeared immediately or were delayed can affect how causation is argued.
- Local dispute patterns: Adjusters may challenge fault, claim pre-existing conditions, or argue the injury wasn’t caused by the crash/incident.
- Functional evidence: Spinal cord injuries are often valued based on documented limitations—mobility, transfers, bowel/bladder function, skin care risks, and the need for assistive devices.
In other words, the calculator may guess what your future looks like. Your settlement value usually rises or falls based on what your medical proof actually shows.
