In cases of serious, permanent injuries, we consult certified life-care planner to project what an injured child will need to cope with the effects of the medical mistake for the rest of his or her life. This may include hospital visits, ongoing medical care, physical, vocational or speech rehabilitation, special education expenses, wheelchairs, handicapped vans, modifications to the home to make it wheelchair-accessible and nursing assistance.
Putting A Figure On Your Child’s Pain And Suffering
Once a life-care planner has devised a plan for the ongoing care of the child, we work with an economist to determine the projected lifetime costs of the injury. Then our medical malpractice attorneys will aggressively pursue financial compensation for the full extent of your damages and costs, including pain, suffering and loss of future earning potential.
