OAS Life Care Planning is recognized for its expert-driven, thorough, and dependable approach to Life Care Plans. Here are several key reasons why attorneys should consider working with OAS Life Care Planning services:
1. Expertise and Experience
The team at OAS Life Care Planning consists of certified life care planners who have extensive experience working with a wide variety of injuries and medical conditions, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, birth defects, and chronic diseases. This deep expertise ensures that each Life Care Plan is precisely tailored to the specific needs of the client.
OAS Life Care Planners are also well-versed in the legal landscape. They create plans that are not only medically accurate but also legally sound, ensuring that the Life Care Plan will hold up in litigation or settlement discussions.
2. Comprehensive, Customized Life Care Plans
Creating an effective Life Care Plan requires an in-depth understanding of a client’s medical, personal, vocational, and financial needs. OAS Life Care Planning specializes in developing thorough and personalized plans that cover all aspects of care. These plans don’t just focus on medical treatment but also take into account how the client’s ability to work, their daily life, and overall quality of life will be impacted.
OAS Life Care Plans provide:
- Detailed Assessments: In-depth evaluations of the client’s condition and future care needs.
- Tailored Solutions: Custom recommendations based on the specific injury or illness.
- Realistic Financial Projections: Accurate cost estimates, factoring in inflation and future medical needs.
These detailed plans help attorneys gather the critical evidence needed to support their clients’ claims and ensure they receive the appropriate compensation.
3. Vocational Evaluations and Expert Testimony
Understanding the impact an injury has on a client’s ability to work is a crucial element in many personal injury cases. OAS Life Care Planning offers vocational evaluations to assess how the injury affects the client’s career prospects and earning potential.
A vocational expert from OAS can evaluate:
- Job Demands: The physical and cognitive requirements of the client’s previous occupation.
- Transferable Skills: Identifying skills that could be applied in other types of work.
- Economic Loss: Estimating the financial impact of the injury, including reduced earning capacity.
These vocational evaluations provide essential insights for attorneys when calculating economic damages. Additionally, vocational experts from OAS can offer expert testimony in court, helping to substantiate claims for lost wages and diminished earning potential.
4. Legally Defensible, Detailed Documentation
A critical aspect of any legal case is having well-documented, reliable evidence. OAS Life Care Planning ensures that all Life Care Plans are meticulously documented, legally sound, and prepared to withstand legal scrutiny. The Life Care Plans include:
- Up-to-Date Medical Information: The latest medical data, treatment options, and care requirements.
- Cost Breakdown: Detailed financial projections of future care costs.
- Care Plan Timeline: A comprehensive timeline showing how the client’s care needs will evolve over time.
This comprehensive documentation provides attorneys with the solid foundation needed to present a compelling case and demonstrate the full scope of the client’s future needs.
5. Collaborative Partnership with Attorneys
OAS Life Care Planning works closely with attorneys to integrate the Life Care Plan into the broader legal strategy. The team collaborates with legal professionals to ensure that the plan is presented in the most compelling and effective way possible. Additionally, OAS Life Care Planning can provide expert testimony in court if needed.
This collaborative approach ensures that the Life Care Plan aligns with the legal objectives, providing strong, credible evidence that supports the client’s long-term care needs.
6. Ongoing Support and Plan Updates
As the client’s condition may change over time, OAS Life Care Planning provides ongoing support throughout the duration of the case. Regular updates to the Life Care Plan are provided to reflect any changes in the client’s needs, ensuring the plan remains relevant and accurate. This is especially important for clients with progressive conditions or those whose care requirements evolve.
With continuous updates, OAS Life Care Planning ensures that the Life Care Plan stays current, allowing attorneys to present the most up-to-date information in future legal proceedings.
