The cost of future health care is often the largest component of economic damages in personal injury cases. Measuring and properly presenting these damages for a jury requires a life care plan, which is a detailed analysis of the type, quantity, timing and cost of the plaintiff’s current and future care needs.
The International Academy of Life Care Planners defines the life care plan as “a dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis and research, which provides an organized, concise plan for current and future needs with associated cost for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs.”
