Let's Get Started

Supporting Clients Nationwide

When you need to know what care is medically necessary, we are here to help. Our team consults with attorneys and healthcare providers for plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury litigation, as well as individuals doing personal planning or trust management.

Personal Injury Attorneys: We work with personal injury professionals who are seeking answers regarding their clients' future care needs and related costs. We collaborate with treating doctors and therapists to support a complete individual care plan.

Defense Attorneys: We aid defense counsel by reviewing the reliability and validity of the plaintiff's life care plan to inform rebuttals. We can utilize alternative medical opinions impacting care projections and analyze the plaintiff's care plan compared to industry standards.

Individuals: We assist individuals in planning care that focuses on the areas of life that are most important to them. We also provide teaching and advocacy services to help navigate complex medical systems in addition to assessing future care needs in retirement, divorce, and/or estate planning.

We understand that personal injuries can be catastrophic. That is why we help clients build life care plans that prioritize quality. Our extensive medical expertise includes burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, toxin exposure, amputations, organ transplantation, and psychological trauma.

Our Comprehensive Services

Life Care Plans & Rebuttals

We offer future care projections delivered at the highest standard of professional quality. Our thorough life care planning process includes document reviews, assessment of needs, evaluee meeting(s), and collaboration with treating professionals (when possible) to support a personalized individual care plan.

Clients receive a detailed report explaining recommended medical care that is rehabilitative, preventive, and promotes the best outcomes. We can also provide expert analysis of current life care plans to inform important case decisions.
Vocational Assessments

A vocational assessment can have a considerable impact on your case. Instead of using economist calculations based on unsupported estimates of future earning potential, rely on our vocational experts to provide the answers you need.

Our team has the expertise required to analyze how an injury has impacted an individual’s ability to work and earn a living. We help clients determine pre-injury earning capacity, identify physical restrictions and/or limitations, evaluate transferable skills, and determine how those skills will impact the individuals’ future employment and earning capabilities.
Cost Estimates

A full life care plan is not always needed. For single issues such as surgery, a medical procedure, or a specific medication, cost projections can provide an efficient solution. Our life care planning team provides research-based cost estimates that explain usual, customary, and reasonable charges.
Earning Capacity Evaluations

An earning capacity evaluation is more focused than a vocational assessment, concentrating on economic loss. We are proficient at conducting these evaluations and providing clients with expert assessments of the individual’s ability to earn a post-injury income based on their skills, education, and work history.
Functional Capacity Evaluations

When your clients’ specific physical limitations need to be explored, we offer functional capacity evaluations to determine factors such as fitness for work, the level at which the individual can perform, and endurance.
Expert Witness Testimony

In addition to meticulous medical expert reports, our team can provide expert witness services such as testimony in depositions and trials to educate involved parties regarding future care and vocational projections.

Incredibly helpful and professional. We had a severely injured client who needed a comprehensive future cost estimate on a tight deadline, and their life care planning team delivered with precision, speed, and excellence.
