Forensic life care plans are crucial for identifying the long-term care for individuals with chronic health conditions or significant injuries. These plans provide a structured approach through the application of life care planning methodology to assess and identify future medical and non-medical care needs over time.

A forensic life care plan serves as a detailed guide that outlines future care needs related to the event being litigated. It takes into account not just future medical care but also daily living assistance, restorative care, medications, home modifications, and transportation, if needed. This comprehensive approach helps in the assessment of damages. Creating a reliable life care plan involves attention to detail.

Understanding the Purpose of a Life Care Plan

A forensic life care plan is a comprehensive yet dynamic document that outlines the future care needs of an individual with chronic health conditions. The main goal of a forensic life care plan is to identify future care needs and their associated costs that are, more likely than not, medically necessary and related to the event being litigated.
