AI tools typically use inputs like injury severity, treatment duration, and reported losses to generate a rough range. That can be helpful when you’re trying to understand whether your situation is “in the ballpark.”
But many AI calculators assume clean facts. In real Passaic cases, key details can change the outcome:
- Video and traffic evidence: In a dense area, dashcam footage, nearby surveillance, and phone records can significantly affect who is at fault.
- Causation disputes: Insurers may argue your symptoms predated the crash or that your later treatment wasn’t caused by the impact.
- Pre-existing conditions common in urban medical histories: New Jersey adjusters often look for gaps or inconsistencies in the record.
- Comparative negligence arguments: Even when you’re not “at fault,” insurers may try to reduce payout by suggesting your actions contributed.
An AI tool can’t review the truck company’s maintenance and safety practices, the crash report details, or the medical record narrative that ties your symptoms to the collision.
