Most AI calculators estimate damages based on broad categories—injury severity, treatment length, and typical economic losses. That can feel reassuring, but it often misses the details that matter most in real disputes:
- Liability can be contested when there’s conflicting testimony about speed, lane position, or right-of-way.
- Causation is frequently argued if an insurer suggests symptoms were pre-existing or unrelated.
- Proof availability varies by location, including whether there’s nearby video coverage and how quickly records are preserved.
In other words, the question isn’t just “what number does the tool generate?” It’s whether that number aligns with the evidence that will hold up in a New York negotiation—where adjusters expect documentation and consistency.
