Suffered a Catastrophic Injury? Why a Life Care Planner Can Boost Your Injury Lawsuit

These types of injuries come with life-changing consequences, as well as a hefty bill with regard personal care, treatment, physical therapy, surgeries and so on. Personal injury law exists to compensate and make whole again individuals who have been hurt due to the negligent actions of others, and one can do this by proving there was a duty of care that was breached leading to you sustaining injuries on account of the other party’s negligence, which then justifies damages as compensation.
That said, catastrophic injuries in an of themselves tend to be complex with regard to quantification, and the average American may be happy when approached by the defendant’s legal team or insurance company with a 5-figure offer, thinking that this is usually more than sufficient when it comes to taking care of all their financial and medical obligations post-injury; the reality, however, is that these injuries often attract millions of dollars throughout one’s lifetime when it comes to their treatment and care, and without a savvy injury attorney by your side, you may very well shoot yourself in the foot, sign a document that then locks you out of compensation in the future when you eventually discover that you need more than what you had anticipated with regard to your upkeep.

A life care plan is a strategic tool which ensures your injury story is told in a quantifiable manner. It essentially justifies a settlement demand running in the millions of dollars with an itemized list for all damages you are seeking. A life care planner is a certified professional usually in the fields of occupational therapy, nursing, or physical therapy who is charged with the task of comprehensively assessing every aspect of your claim.
A life care planner typically goes over the following:
- A detailed review of the plaintiff’s medical history where all your medical records, surgical reports, physician evaluations, hospital stays and so on in order to have a full picture of your injuries as well as prognosis.
- An in-person interview with you and your family which is a crucial meeting which seeks to understand your daily life post-injury, your struggles, needs and any other minor detail so as to communicate the same with our team as well as the defense attorneys or insurance company.
- Consultation with treating physicians and specialists so as to understand the long-term consequences of your injuries, whether or not you will need ongoing surgeries and for how long, and how long your physical therapy is expected to last.
- Research and costing with regard to every service and item required from a round-the-clock at-home nurse to wheelchairs to home fittings, a modified vehicle, crutches and so much more, in keeping with the prevailing market rates.
