Most AI-style tools work like a “damages worksheet.” You enter basic facts—injury type, time off work, and treatment—and the tool generates an estimated range.
For residents, the most practical use is planning, such as:
- understanding which losses you may be able to claim (not just medical bills)
- organizing documents so your lawyer can evaluate your case quickly
- spotting potential gaps (for example, missing records for follow-up care)
But even a sophisticated calculator can’t confirm:
- what a North Carolina insurer will dispute about causation
- how multiple responsible parties may be allocated fault
- whether your medical timeline matches the crash narrative
Bottom line: use an AI tool to get oriented—not to predict what you’ll receive.
