Strengthen Your Case with Comprehensive Life Care Plans

OAS specializes in crafting detailed Life Care Plans, offering a systematic approach to evaluate the lifelong care needs and associated costs for individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries, accidents, or chronic illnesses.


For cases involving severe injuries that permanently alter a person’s ability to perform daily activities, a Life Care Plan provides a clear and reliable roadmap for their care. Whether your client requires mobility aids such as a cane, walker, or wheelchair, our plans deliver the critical insights necessary to support litigation and secure the resources they need.

When a client is already receiving home care assistance—whether from a family member or a professional agency—a Life Care Plan evaluation becomes an essential tool for both Plaintiff and Defense attorneys.


Our Life Care Plan process is comprehensive, consisting of seven key components:


  • Document Review: A thorough analysis of medical records, care reports, and other relevant documents.

  • Work Problems Assessment: Examination of how injuries impact employability and work potential.

  • Life Care Plan Interview: Direct interviews with the client and relevant parties (via Zoom) to understand their needs and circumstances.

  • Daily Living Impact Assessment: Evaluation of how the injuries affect the client’s ability to perform essential activities.

  • Detailed Needs Assessment: Objective formulation of the client’s current and future care requirements.

  • Cost Research: Analysis of the costs of required items and services within the client’s specific geographical area.

These steps culminate in a detailed roadmap that provides the Life Care Planner with the foundation to form a reliable opinion regarding the disabled individual’s care and financial needs. Additionally, our Life Care Plans include an Employability and Loss of Earning Capacity evaluation, ensuring a complete understanding of the economic impact of the injuries.


Life Care Plans are extremely helpful in catastrophic Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, Slip and Fall, Premises Liability, Automobile, or Workplace accident cases. They offer attorneys a robust framework for demonstrating the full extent of damages or countering opposing claims, depending on the case strategy.
