Los Angeles is one of the largest and most active personal injury litigation markets in the United States. The Los Angeles County Superior Court processes tens of thousands of civil filings annually, and the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (C.D.

In this environment, life care planners are called upon regularly, and the quality of expert credentials and methodology is routinely scrutinized by experienced plaintiff and defense counsel.
California follows a pure comparative fault standard, meaning a plaintiff can recover even if found mostly at fault for their injuries. This standard tends to support higher damages settlements and verdicts, which in turn elevates the importance of a precisely documented plan. Life care plan costs in the Los Angeles area are among the highest in the nation for home health aides, attendant care, and specialized medical services, and each cost projection in a California life care plan should be supported by locally-sourced provider cost data.
