Evaluation Request

Life Care Planning Services

A Life Care Plan can assist the Plaintiff or Defense attorney to objectively document the case damages where a person has sustained catastrophic injuries.

OAS provides a comprehensive, systematic method to determine the individual care needs and related costs for someone who has experienced a catastrophic injury, accident, or chronic illness.

A Life Care Plan is an important evaluation when an individual´s injury is so severe that they will impact the person’s ability to perform their activities of daily living. If an individual uses a cane, walker, or wheelchair for mobility, they will require a Life Care Plans.

When a client already receives home care assistance either from a family member or a home care agency, a Life Care Plan evaluation is necessary and beneficial to either Plaintiff or Defense lawyers.

It consists of seven parts including:

Document review
Home visit
Work problems
Life Care Plan Interview
Assessment as to the impact of the persons’ injuries on their activities of daily living
Formulation of an objectively detailed assessment of their needs
Research as to the cost of required items in the client´s geographical area

The above will create an important roadmap so that the Life Care Planner can reach an opinion as to the disabled person’s needs. The Life Care Plans also includes an Employability and Loss of Earning Capacity evaluation.

Life Care Plans are extremely helpful in catastrophic Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, Slip and Fall, Premises Liability, Automobile, or Workplace accident cases.
