In catastrophic injury cases, a life care plan can significantly influence the damages assessment. A well-supported life care plan helps attorneys evaluate future care needs and costs, prepare for settlement negotiations, and address challenges to expert testimony. This IMS eBook explains what makes a life care plan defensible and how to identify recommendations that lack sufficient clinical or evidentiary support.
Drawing on the experience of IMS's Certified Life Care Planners, the eBook examines medical necessity, pre-existing conditions, and the long-term care needs associated with catastrophic injuries. It also explores how vocational limitations and mental health considerations contribute to the overall damages picture. Download your copy for a practical 10-point checklist to help you evaluate, support, or challenge a life care plan.
