After a crash on a commute route, a slip on a residential property, or a workplace incident, it’s common to want a fast estimate—something that helps you plan for bills, therapy, and lost income. AI-style tools can look appealing because they can sort details like:
- the type of incident and injury
- treatment timing
- symptom categories (headaches, dizziness, memory issues)
- reported work impact
But the number you see from an AI model is only as good as the inputs. In Selma, the most common reason estimates go sideways is also the most human: people describe symptoms from memory while still in pain, without a complete medical timeline.
