How Will Life Care Planning Benefit Me?
When representing clients with catastrophic injuries, traumatic brain damage, spinal cord injuries, or long-term disabilities, one of the most critical components of your case is proving the full scope of your client’s future needs. That’s where life care planning becomes invaluable—not just for your client’s long-term wellbeing, but for strengthening your case.
At Thomas Roney LLC, our Louisville life care planning experts serve as trusted expert witnesses who deliver detailed, evidence-based projections that stand up in court.
What Is Life Care Planning?
Life care planning is the development of a comprehensive, medically supported report that outlines an injured individual’s current and anticipated future needs. This includes:
- Ongoing medical treatment and care
- Assistive devices and medical equipment
- Rehabilitation services and therapies
- In-home care and facility placement, if necessary
- Transportation and home modification costs
- Medications, diagnostics, and follow-up visits
- Vocational and psychological support
For attorneys, this plan becomes an essential tool for establishing the value of economic damages in both settlement negotiations and litigation.
Why Is Life Care Planning Crucial in Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Cases?
Whether you’re handling a case involving a car crash, medical negligence, workplace injury, or product liability, you need a clear way to quantify future damages. A life care plan bridges the gap between medical diagnosis and long-term financial impact, translating complex health care needs into concrete, understandable figures.
With a life care plan, you can:
- Justify long-term care costs with medical certainty.
- Support your demand for higher compensation.
- Provide judges and juries with a clear roadmap of your client’s needs.
- Counter low settlement offers with credible, expert-backed data.
- Strengthen your expert testimony with visual aids and detailed documentation.
