Most AI tools work like this: you enter your diagnosis, injury date, and a few work-and-treatment facts, and the tool outputs a supposed “range” based on patterns from other cases.
That can feel reassuring—particularly when you’re trying to plan around lost income. However, Cleveland Heights claims often turn on documentation that AI tools can’t see, such as:
- Whether your work restrictions were documented consistently after each appointment
- Whether your employer kept sending you back into duties that conflicted with medical limitations
- Whether your wage history reflects real scheduling (overtime, variable shifts, or commuting-related constraints)
Ohio workers’ compensation is evidence-driven. If the evidence isn’t shaped the right way, even a “reasonable” AI estimate can steer you in the wrong direction.
