What is a life care plan and why does it matter in my amputation case?

A Life Care Plan (LCP) is a comprehensive, peer-reviewed medical-economic document prepared by a Certified Life Care Planner that projects all of your future medical and care needs over your lifetime, translated into present-day dollars by a forensic economist. In an amputation case, a credible LCP is often the single most important document at trial. It tells the jury exactly what your future will cost — prosthetics, home care, surgeries, medications, therapy — and gives them a concrete number to anchor a fair verdict.
