Many AI tools work like a shortcut: you enter injury severity, treatment timing, and losses, and the program returns a range. That can be useful for understanding which categories commonly affect value.
But trucking claims are rarely “plug-and-play.” In Wendell, drivers frequently encounter commercial vehicles during commutes and regional travel routes, where crashes may involve:
- Rapid lane changes and merging (including situations where a large truck has limited maneuverability)
- Stop-and-go traffic patterns that make braking distance and speed a major dispute point
- Road conditions and visibility (fog, rain, and nighttime lighting differences)
An AI calculator can’t reliably account for how those facts are proven—through crash reports, witness statements, vehicle data, or maintenance and log records.
