Many individuals suffering from a disabling injury require ongoing medical care past the date of maximum medical recovery. Vocational Economics' experts offer unique abilities to identify the medical needs and quantify the related cost over a lifetime. The articles below summarize the process they employ. For more information on Vocational Economics' expert testimony services for life care plans, click here. Assessing Economic Consequences of Catastrophic Injuries Preparation of a personal injury case for settlement or trial requires determination of damages in two major areas. The first and most significant will be the cost of future health and medical care; the second is the loss of capacity to work and earn money.
The cost of future health and medical care is among the major economic damages in a catastrophic injury case. A good way to quantify these damages for a jury is to present a life care plan -- a clear, concise summary of the injured client's future health and medical care needs.
What dollar amount will cover a lifetime of medical care? Do the future medical costs warrant retaining a life care planner? What can a life care planner do to assist my clients and me? Can’t the doctors just give me those costs? Last Modified: Thursday August 07, 2003 08:59 AM |
