Future-care evidence is central to a catastrophic injury claim
For an injured person who cannot communicate independently, the record may include observations from caregivers, treating specialists and family members. Proposed care should be tied to medical recommendations, expected duration and actual costs. A jury’s evaluation of one patient’s needs cannot substitute for a plan tailored to another patient. Keep the care assumptions visible when reviewing any large reported medical-expense award.
