Most AI calculators work by collecting basic inputs—injury seriousness, treatment length, and categories like medical costs and lost income—then producing a rough range.
That can be useful if:
- you’re organizing your documentation,
- you want to understand which losses tend to be included,
- you need a quick way to compare an insurer’s early offer to something more grounded.
But AI estimates often fall short in real truck claims because they can’t reliably account for:
- California comparative fault arguments (where insurers try to shift blame to you),
- disputes about causation (whether symptoms were caused by the crash),
- missing or contested records (common when treatments, imaging, or follow-ups are delayed),
- trucking-specific issues like log/dispatch violations, maintenance gaps, or cargo-related failures.
In other words: an AI tool can suggest a framework—your settlement depends on the evidence.
