A Simple Guide on How to Determine The Cost of Future Medical Treatment

After suffering an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may worry about your ability to make a living as well as the cost of medical care, especially after your case has been closed and compensation recovered. What most people don’t understand or appreciate is the fact that these injuries can linger and produce complications that may last years, especially if the accident was catastrophic, such as a semi truck accident or a traumatic brain injury, or burn injury. This is perhaps one of the most important reasons why you should hire a competent and experienced personal injury law firm like McCready Law, but it should also give you an appreciation of the long-term effects of one-time injuries, and the importance of planning for the future, long after the negotiations or litigation is over.

Before determining the cost of future medical care, it is important to take into account:

  • Pain management
  • Frequency of future surgeries
  • Physical therapy
  • Cost of prescriptions
  • Rehabilitation amenities
  • Any equipment you may need to purchase to assist

Insurance adjusters will take into account the following when determining medical care:

  1. Your age
  2. Your sex
  3. Your life expectancy
  4. How badly you were injured
  5. How much has already been paid out in medical treatment
  6. Your health at the time of your accident and consequent injuries

The value of your future medical costs can only be determined when you’ve made maximum medical improvement, or the point where you’ve been discharged or finished your treatment schedule at present.

Determining The Cost of Future Medical Treatment

Additionally, the cost of future medical treatment for injured individuals may be determined by the projected inflation percentages in the future, whether or not your condition is expected to get worse, whether or not you will require further medical treatment, and if there are any holistic medical options that may be more affordable long-term.
