AI tools typically work from simplified inputs (injury severity, age, and a few care assumptions). That’s useful for orientation—but it can miss the realities that change valuation in catastrophic cases.
In Vineland, common factors that can swing settlement value include:
- Accident reconstruction and traffic evidence (skid marks, signal timing, witness statements, dashcam/video)
- Pre-existing conditions that insurers may blame (and how your medical records address causation)
- Documented neurological function over time, not just the initial diagnosis
- Whether you have a credible plan for home care needs (mobility assistance, transfer safety, bowel/bladder management)
If your inputs are incomplete or your medical record isn’t organized in a “lawyer-ready” way, an AI estimate can look confident while still being unreliable.
