An older person’s baseline should be documented carefully
Claims involving an older adult often require a detailed comparison of independence before and after the event. Gather records of daily activities, assistance needs and prior treatment without overstating the person’s baseline. Surveillance of the original collision can also explain a sequence that includes more than one impact. The amount of future care should be supported by the patient’s needs rather than by age alone.
