Traumatic brain injuries—concussions, contusions, and more serious head trauma—can be hard to “prove” because symptoms are partly subjective. In Ralls County and Randolph County-area cases, we commonly see disputes focus on:
- Whether symptoms began right after the incident (and were reported consistently)
- Whether treatment followed medical advice
- Whether symptoms affected job duties (including concentration, fatigue, headaches, and sleep disruption)
- Whether the record supports causation, not just a current diagnosis
That’s why “calculator-style” estimates can mislead. An AI tool can’t tell if your symptoms were documented on the day they started, whether follow-up notes were obtained, or whether your functional limits were described in a way adjusters trust.
