“Are you overlooking a critical tool that could strengthen every injury case—catastrophic or not?”
In personal injury and medical malpractice litigation, future care costs aren’t just a detail—they’re the foundation of fair compensation. That’s why Life Care Planners (LCPs) and Medical Cost Projections (MCPs) matter for both plaintiff and defense attorneys.
What they do:
• LCPs: Comprehensive plans for catastrophic and non-catastrophic injuries, detailing lifetime needs—medical care, therapies, assistive devices, home modifications—and accurate cost projections.
• MCPs: A streamlined, cost-focused approach for cases where a full Life Care Plan isn’t necessary but future costs still need to be quantified.
Why attorneys should use them:
✅ Plaintiff Advantage – Objective evidence to justify future damages and maximize settlement value.
✅ Defense Advantage – A reliable framework to evaluate claims and challenge inflated projections.
✅ Credible Expert Support – Both tools bridge medicine, law, and economics, making your case harder to dispute.
Bottom line: Whether catastrophic or non-catastrophic, for plaintiff or defense, leveraging LCPs and MCPs is a strategic necessity for fair compensation and stronger outcomes.
