AI-based calculators can be useful for organizing information, but they commonly break down for head injury cases in ways that matter locally:
- Symptoms don’t follow a neat timeline. Concussion and other TBIs can worsen, stall, or fluctuate—especially when people return to school, work, or driving too soon.
- Local insurers may emphasize gaps. If there’s a delay between the incident and medical documentation, an adjuster may argue the injury wasn’t caused by the crash or incident.
- Functional impact is under-modeled. AI tools may recognize “headache” or “brain fog” but struggle to translate those into legally meaningful limits—like inability to concentrate at work, safety issues while driving, or difficulty navigating busy intersections.
Instead of asking, “What number will I get?” the better question is: What evidence is missing, and what questions should a lawyer ask to strengthen the claim?
