AI tools generally work by taking the facts you type in—injury type, date, treatment, and work limitations—and comparing them to patterns from other cases.
That can help with one thing: spotting what information is missing.
For example, if the tool assumes your injury is “short-term” because your treatment appears limited, but your treating provider has documented ongoing restrictions, the calculator’s number won’t match reality. In Washington, insurers rely heavily on how your condition is described over time—especially around stabilization and impairment.
The key takeaway: treat AI output as a starting point for questions, not as a prediction you can rely on when making decisions.
