Most AI calculators generate a rough range by combining user inputs (injury severity, age, time to treatment, and similar factors). That output can be helpful for orientation, but it often misses the parts that matter most in real spinal cord injury claims.
In Waunakee and throughout Wisconsin, insurers typically focus on whether the evidence supports:
- Causation (that the accident—not a pre-existing condition—caused the neurological damage)
- Functional impact (what you can and can’t do now and what you may lose later)
- Lifetime care needs (not just the initial hospital bills)
- Credibility and documentation (medical consistency, objective findings, and expert support)
If the AI tool doesn’t have your MRI/CT findings, neurological exam results, or a clinician’s prognosis, it can’t “know” what a jury or adjuster will actually require.
