AI settlement tools often start with a simple premise: the more severe the impairment and future care needs, the higher the potential value. For families dealing with paralysis or serious neurological injury, that can feel like a lifeline—especially when bills arrive quickly and uncertainty is constant.
In practice, these tools may ask for details such as:
- Injury severity category (complete vs. incomplete)
- Age and basic employment information
- Emergency treatment and early prognosis
- Claimed ongoing care needs
The best use of an AI estimate is as a conversation starter—a way to identify what evidence you’ll need for a realistic settlement discussion.
