A lifecare plan is essential to your legal claim when filing a personal injury lawsuit. Your lifecare plan outlines the financial costs related to your accident. Suppose you suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI) in an auto accident. As a result of your SCI, you’re partially paralyzed. You need to hire a home health aide to help you bathe and dress. Your medical costs include physical therapy to recover from your injuries, and you have to hire a childcare professional to care for and transport minor children. You also need to renovate your home to accommodate a wheelchair.
