Serious injuries often require ongoing treatment, surgeries, therapy, and equipment for years or a lifetime. Once you settle, you cannot ask for more, even if your condition worsens. Future medical costs must be projected and included before settlement.
Why Future Care Matters
Underestimating future care is one of the most damaging mistakes in a serious claim.
Proving Future Damages
Treating physicians and life-care planners project the future treatment a victim will need, and economists calculate its present value. This evidence supports a claim for future medical damages, which Texas does not cap in typical cases.
The more serious the injury, the more critical this analysis becomes.
