AI tools typically work by taking the details you enter—your diagnosis, body part, treatment dates, time missed from work, and work restrictions—and producing a rough range based on patterns they’ve seen.
In real Texas claims, though, settlement value is usually influenced by what can be proven through medical documentation, work status records, and the timeline of treatment. Two injured workers in Cibolo can report similar symptoms and still end up with very different settlements because the evidence doesn’t match.
Common reasons AI outputs don’t line up with what happens in Texas:
- Work restrictions aren’t clearly supported in treating records (or they change over time).
- Wage loss details are incomplete (especially if shifts, overtime, or schedule changes weren’t consistently documented).
- Maximum medical improvement (MMI) timing and the wording of impairment opinions matter more than a calculator assumes.
- Disputed causation—whether the work incident actually caused or aggravated the condition—can shift negotiations.
The key takeaway: treat AI results as a starting point for questions, not a prediction.
