When a Buffalo resident suffers a personal injury that will result in long term or permanent disability, his or her future financial losses can be extremely high. Issues such as future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, the need for home assistance, and other costs can be instrumental to ensuring that the injured person receives full and fair compensation.
In such cases, a personal injury attorney may recommend that his or her client see a life care planner. A life care planner is a professional who has been trained in determining the future needs of the client and projecting the expenses involved. A life care planner works with the injured person’s medical providers to determine future medical needs and reach a determination regarding the possibility of a reduced career length, loss of employment, and the need for vocational rehabilitation.
These and additional areas of financial loss can be projected over the anticipated lifespan of the client. Once inflation is taken into account over that time period, a final figure can be reached regarding the total future damages to the injured person.
