MVA considerations scale to severity. Soft-tissue and minor injury cases may need only a medical cost projection, or no planning expert at all; polytrauma, spinal, and brain injury cases warrant a full life care plan.
Checklist
Quantify the likely magnitude of future medical need from the treating records
Decide whether a medical cost projection or a full life care plan fits the injury
Identify the treating specialists whose recommendations the plan will rest on
Check the case calendar against planner availability
Questions to ask the expert
How do you distinguish accident-related care from treatment for pre-existing conditions?
When do you recommend a medical cost projection instead of a full plan?
It can, when the treating team projects ongoing pain management, injections, medication, and therapy. A medical cost projection is often the right scope for pain-only cases.
