AI tools typically use inputs like injury severity, treatment duration, and reported losses to generate a rough range. That can be helpful for understanding what categories might matter.
The problem is that insurers in Illinois evaluate truck claims with a heavy focus on proof, documentation, and causation—not just outcomes. A calculator can’t verify:
- whether the crash report supports the story in your medical records
- whether surveillance/video exists from nearby roads or intersections
- whether maintenance logs, driver records, and inspection reports point to a specific failure
- whether gaps in treatment will be used to argue symptoms weren’t caused by the crash
So while an AI estimate can give you a starting point, it can’t tell you what your claim is worth in the real negotiation environment you’ll face.
