AI estimators may look detailed, but they typically build a value range from assumptions—like injury category, general prognosis patterns, and broad damage categories. In real spinal injury claims, the valuation turns on evidence that a tool cannot reliably access, such as:
- Neurological findings (what you can and cannot do, and how that changes)
- Documented complications (skin breakdown, respiratory issues, spasticity, bowel/bladder impacts)
- A life-care plan that translates medical recommendations into future costs
- Proof of fault tied to the specific incident facts
For many Forney families, the goal isn’t just money—it’s the ability to pay for the care needed after discharge, including equipment, home safety changes, and ongoing therapy.
