AI tools usually work by pattern-matching. You enter details about your injury and treatment, and the tool returns a suggested range.
In real Hardeeville claims, the outcome can swing based on issues that a calculator typically can’t account for, such as:
- Inconsistent documentation after an initial injury report (common when treatment is delayed due to work schedules or transportation constraints).
- Work restriction gaps—for example, when a doctor’s notes don’t clearly translate into the kind of limits an employer can accommodate.
- Causation disputes—especially when insurers argue that symptoms were caused by a non-work event or a preexisting condition.
- Earnings documentation issues tied to shift work, overtime, or variable hours.
An AI estimate can’t verify the accuracy of the medical timeline or predict how adjusters will evaluate disputed facts under South Carolina practice.
