How Long-Term Care Planning Can Impact Your Personal Injury Claim?
Whether you suffered a brain injury due to a car accident, medical malpractice, a fall, or other incident, you may need long-term care, such as assisted living, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and at-home caregiving. When filing a claim, it can be difficult to understand the scope of the damages involved. We help you navigate the complexities of the legal process by leaving no stone unturned and helping you understand how your long-term care affects your brain injury claim.
Legal Considerations
If you need long-term care after suffering a brain injury caused by another party’s negligence, having a seasoned lawyer by your side is essential. We help you understand the nuances of these cases, which include the following:
- Proving Fault: To secure maximum compensation for your long-term care, your claim must prove the liable party owed you a duty of care, neglected that duty, and directly caused the accident and your injuries.
- Expert Testimony: To strengthen your claim, we may obtain expert testimony from a medical professional who can provide insight into your brain injury, its cause, and the care you need.
- Future Care: Medical experts can also help us accurately evaluate the value of your long-term care needs so we can incorporate them into our strategy.
- Litigation: Due to the often high value of brain injury claims, we may need to take your claim to court. Our seasoned lawyer is fully prepared to present your case to a judge and jury if necessary.Â
We want you to be able to regain your freedom and return to normalcy after suffering a brain injury, so we work hard to ensure your claim addresses all your long-term care needs.
Damages
If your brain injury requires long-term care, it is essential to consider every detail to calculate future costs accurately. You should not have to pay for any treatments associated with your injury someone else caused, so we leave no stone unturned to calculate your claim’s worth accurately. Depending on the type of long-term care you need, you may recover the following costs with the help of Hollis Law Firm:
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Prescribed medications
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Psychological counseling and therapy
- Assistive medical devices
- Home modifications
- Home care
When calculating your long-term care costs, we listen to your story, understand your needs, and utilize valuable resources to ensure your claim addresses the full extent of your damages. This helps you avoid settling for a lowball offer from insurance companies that implement several tactics to undermine your claim.
