AI tools are designed to produce a “range” based on patterns. That can feel reassuring when you’re trying to plan for rent, groceries, and time away from work.
Still, a calculator can’t:
- verify your medical record timeline (Texas adjusters care how treatment, imaging, and restrictions line up)
- interpret whether your doctor’s findings support maximum medical improvement or continued impairment
- predict how the carrier will treat disputes that show up in Texas practice, such as causation or work capacity
- account for the fact that different employers and insurers handle documentation and evaluations differently
For Galena Park workers, the practical issue is usually not “math”—it’s proof. An AI estimate may ignore whether your file contains clear restrictions tied to your job duties, or whether the insurer has reason to challenge the narrative.
