AI tools typically work by comparing your inputs to generalized patterns. That can be useful, but it often misses the details that matter most in Michigan workers’ comp disputes—especially when your injury affects your ability to keep up with commuting, shift schedules, or physically demanding duties.
Common reasons an AI estimate can come in too low:
- Your restrictions weren’t documented clearly. If your doctor’s work limits are vague or not tied to specific functional abilities, insurers may treat your disability as less serious.
- Your wage loss doesn’t match how your job is paid. Warren-area jobs can include overtime, shift differentials, bonus structures, or variable schedules—details that may not be captured if you only enter a single salary figure into a calculator.
- Treatment gaps look worse on paper than they feel in real life. If appointments were delayed due to work coverage, transportation, scheduling, or ongoing symptoms, the record needs context.
- Causation questions arise. Insurers in Michigan often scrutinize whether the work event caused the condition, particularly when there’s any preexisting issue or similar symptoms in your medical history.
