In what kinds of cases are life care plans needed? For Plaintiffs with catastrophic injuries and/or conditions, life care plans are often needed to map out the extent and details of anticipated future care needs. These injuries and conditions can include orthopedic, spinal cord, paraplesia, quadraplegia, cardiac, neurological/pain-related, visual/sensory deficits, birth conditions, cognitive, psychological/emotional, and developmental issues.
What is involved in developing a life care plan? In order to be effective, life care plans must be closely tailored to each evaluee’s specific needs. Clinical interviews are often called for, some of which can be done effectively by Zoom. In most of these cases, close collaboration with treaters and/or medical or psychological experts is called for.
