Most AI calculators work like a worksheet: you enter injury level, age, and care needs, and the tool outputs a range.
That can be helpful—but it often breaks down for spinal cord injuries because the numbers depend on details an AI tool can’t reliably access, such as:
- Documented neurological findings (what your doctors observed, not just the diagnosis label)
- Complications that change care (skin breakdown risk, respiratory issues, bowel/bladder needs)
- A life-care plan that connects treatment recommendations to a timeline
- Texas evidence requirements and what insurers expect to see before they will move
In other words, the estimate may be “reasonable” as a starting point, but it’s not the same thing as a valuation built on medical records, causation, and credible future-care projections.
