AI tools typically work by taking a few inputs—like injury type, treatment timeline, and whether you missed work—and then comparing your answers to patterns from other cases.
That approach breaks down when your case depends on details that an online form can’t see, such as:
- Whether your treating provider documented work restrictions clearly (not just “pain,” but specific lifting, bending, and duty limits)
- Whether medical visits and diagnostic testing line up with the work timeline
- How long it took to get appropriate follow-up care
- Whether the insurer is disputing causation (common when there’s a competing explanation for symptoms)
In North Little Rock, many injured workers return to work in some capacity—sometimes for a different department, different schedule, or modified duties. If the tool you used doesn’t account for how your restrictions were applied in real life, its estimate may be off.
