How and When to Use Life Care Plans in North Carolina

Determining the appropriate level of medical and economic analysis depends on the severity of injury, the anticipated duration of care, and the stage of the legal process. Physician Life Care Planning offers a range of services, from comprehensive life care plans to streamlined assessments, enabling attorneys to tailor the scope of analysis to each case's needs.

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and amputations, often require comprehensive, physician-authored life care plans. These cases typically involve long-term or lifelong care needs and proceed to litigation. A detailed plan provides a structured framework for future medical care and rehabilitation, as well as all associated costs, supported by clinical expertise and, when needed, physician testimony.

Non-Catastrophic Cases

For lower-acuity injuries or cases expected to resolve through negotiation, a medical cost assessment (MCA) may be appropriate. These evaluations offer an overview of all anticipated medical needs and costs without the full scope of a life care plan. MCAs are typically used when long-term care complexity is limited, but a medically grounded valuation remains necessary.
