AI tools typically work by taking the details you type in (injury type, treatment, missed work, limitations) and comparing them to broad patterns. That can create a number that sounds reasonable.
In Mineola, that estimate frequently breaks down for one reason: real-world proof doesn’t arrive in a tidy dataset. Your outcome depends on evidence that AI can’t reliably see, such as:
- Whether your treating provider’s notes clearly describe functional limits you can’t “push through” while commuting and working
- Whether wage loss is supported by payroll documentation that matches your actual schedule
- Whether your claim’s timeline supports the injury story the insurer is reviewing
Even a well-intentioned calculator can understate value when it assumes gaps in treatment, vague restrictions, or disputed causation—issues that appear often in contested NY claims.
