Why Use a Life Care Plan?

Why Use a Life Care Plan?

Occupational Assessment Services, Inc. (OAS)  has recently published an informative video detailing how and why attorneys who represent clients with serious physical injuries may choose a life care plan for their clients.

 

Examples of such injuries include:

  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Paralysis
  • Amputation
  • Birth Trauma
  • Brain Damage
  • Head Trauma
  • Cognitive Limitations
  • Physical Disability

 

Many attorneys will often ask why they should use a  life care plan  for their clients who have sustained major physical injuries. To correctly answer this question, we should first ask: “What are the consequences of multi-faceted catastrophic injuries on the client’s ability to function?” To determine this, we must examine several factors:

 

1. Cost to prepare for employment
2. Cost of medical care & therapy
3. Cost for home renovation
4. Cost of nursing services

Placing Value on an Injury Case

 

How will these injuries affect a person’s educational and personal development? What effect will these injuries have on the client’s rehabilitation, employability, and  earning capacity ? The answers to these vital questions will help you value your case appropriately—and accurately educate a jury regarding the client’s lifetime care needs.
