How and When to Use Life Care Plans in New York

Determining when to use a life care plan depends on the severity of injury, anticipated long-term needs, and the stage of the legal case. Physician-authored life care plans provide a structured, medically grounded framework for evaluating future care requirements, while additional tools and services can support earlier case assessment or lower-complexity matters.

Catastrophic Injuries

In cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, or permanent disability, a life care plan is often essential. These physician-authored plans comprehensively outline future medical care, rehabilitation, and support needs, along with present-value cost analysis. They are often used in litigated matters where detailed documentation is required.

Non-Catastrophic Cases

For lower-severity injuries or cases expected to resolve outside of litigation, a medical cost assessment (MCA) may be appropriate. These physician-authored evaluations provide a credible overview of anticipated medical costs without the full scope of a life care plan. MCAs are often used during negotiation phases where a comprehensive plan may not be necessary.

Before formally engaging in life care planning, attorneys may benefit from early insights through Previdi, our AI-driven technology suite. By organizing medical records and comparing case data against thousands of physician-authored plans,
