Life Care Planning and Cost Projections
Life Care Planning
Each plan includes collaboration of the injured party, family and physicians, providing the most accurate information as possible for reasonably and medically necessary future care through life expectancy. Each plan is personal and unique to the specific injuries of the individual.
Injuries that may require a life care plan include:
Spinal cord injuries
Brain injuries (both traumatic and acquired)
Birth-related injuries (Cerebral palsy and brachial plexus injuries)
Burns
Amputations
National foodborne illness (listeria. e-coli and salmonella),
Gentamicin toxicity-vestibular injuries
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Chronic Pain
Some types of Cancer
Sexual trauma
Correctional Facility Trauma
Surgical related injuries
Life Care Plan Critiques and Deposition Preparation
Knowing the right questions to ask makes all the difference. Sherry Latham & Associates can review opposition life care plans to ensure accurate usage of standards and procedures as well as prepare you with questions for deposition.
Cost Projections
Cost projections are utilized when a case is likely to settle and includes many of the same components of a life care plan. The primary difference is that a cost projection is not intended for the purpose of trial and thus includes less detail.
