People search for a calculator because they want an early sense of value: Will my treatment be covered? What about missed work? Those questions are reasonable—especially when you’re trying to manage medical bills while symptoms make it harder to function.
But in practice, AI tools frequently assume that:
- symptoms were documented immediately and consistently
- imaging or objective findings exist in every case
- the impact on work and daily activities is already clear in the record
- the injury timeline is uncontested
In real Lovejoy situations, those assumptions don’t always hold. For example, a concussion might be treated as “observation” at first, then later develop into persistent cognitive problems that require specialty care. If the early documentation is thin—or if the defense argues symptoms have another cause—an AI range may not reflect the strength of the evidence that Georgia adjusters expect.
