Calculator Result Reality-Check Checklist

Save the calculator's explanation of its formula, not just the displayed result.
Identify whether the output represents pain and suffering alone or the entire injury claim.
Write down which expenses the tool includes in its base amount.
Mark any inputs you guessed, including recovery duration or injury severity.
Check whether the tool explains its treatment of fault and insurance limits.
List personal limitations that the tool never asked about.
Bring the assumptions and unanswered questions to a licensed attorney rather than treating the output as a payment entitlement.
