Life Care Planning Services
At Purinton Analytics, LLC, we specialize in creating comprehensive and defensible Life Care Plans that assist trial attorneys in documenting damages for medically complex and catastrophic injury cases. Whether the case involves catastrophic or non-catastrophic injuries, our plans provide an organized and reliable roadmap for addressing an individual’s current and future care needs.
What is a Life Care Plan?
A Life Care Plan is a dynamic document grounded in established standards of practice, thorough assessment, data analysis, and evidence-based research. It outlines an individual’s current and projected medical, therapeutic, and daily living needs, along with their associated costs. Life care plans are widely recognized as the most effective tool for managing complex cases, aiding both plaintiff and defense attorneys in preparing for trial.
Types of Life Care Plans
Non-Catastrophic Life Care Plans: Designed for individuals with less severe injuries, such as soft-tissue injuries or impairments that allow continued work but require long-term medical attention.
Catastrophic Life Care Plans: Reserved for individuals with severe, permanent injuries lasting a year or more, such as spinal cord injuries, amputations, traumatic brain injuries, burns, or loss of vision. These plans address lifelong medical and therapeutic needs.
Our Approach to Life Care Planning
At Purinton Analytics, we follow a meticulous process to ensure accuracy, consistency, and transparency:
- Comprehensive Medical Review: We collaborate with medical professionals to analyze the extent of injuries and future care needs.
- Evaluation Interview: Conducted in-person or remotely, these interviews assess the individual’s injuries and their impact on daily living and recreational activities.
- Cost Research: We evaluate the costs of recommended services and items, tailored to the client’s geographical area. This includes medical care, psychological support, social integration, home and vehicle modifications, and future surgeries.
- Detailed Needs Assessment: From diagnostic monitoring to durable medical equipment and institutional care, we address every aspect of the client’s needs.
