Field notes
The homepage's estimator exposes condition, age, duration, and permanence inputs; the sampled state returns $0 before configuration. A worked example follows Maria, 38, with chronic back pain after a rear-end collision and a 10-year prognosis, comparing four methods against $4,800 in medical bills. The site says estimates use representative U.S. panel data and include confidence bounds; the extract does not show a completed result or independently establish those methodological claims.
