Medicare Set-Aside applied to birth injury litigation: methodology, deliverables, and case-specific considerations.
Pediatric plans address neurology and developmental pediatrics follow-up, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, durable medical equipment sized and replaced as the child grows, seizure management, feeding support, educational and behavioral services, respite and attendant care, and the transition to adult providers and residential options after age 21.
A written expert report, supporting data appendices, and, when retained, deposition and trial testimony.
Early enough to attend or review the initial neurodevelopmental evaluations, typically once liability review confirms the case will proceed. Early retention lets the planner document baseline function before growth changes the picture.
The planner documents the child's functional status, feeding method, mobility, and seizure control, and presents the life expectancy analysis with its sources so counsel can decide how to present it. Where the medical literature supports a range, the plan shows the cost impact of each end of that range.
Yes. Pediatric plans project the transition to adult providers, vocational or day-program services, and long-term residential or in-home care through the projected life expectancy.
