AI tools typically ask you to enter basic facts: injury date, body part, diagnosis, treatment history, and whether you missed work.
Then the tool generates an estimate based on patterns drawn from other cases.
The problem is that California workers’ comp files are evidence-driven. Two people can enter the same general details and still end up with very different settlement values because:
- the medical record in one file is consistent and detailed, while the other is incomplete;
- work restrictions are clearly supported by treating providers, or they’re disputed;
- the claim’s timeline is smooth, or it includes delays that raise credibility questions.
In short: an AI estimate can help you understand the types of factors that matter—but it can’t validate the specific facts your insurer will rely on.
