Consultant / Expert Witness

With 20 years of experience as a life care planner researching and estimating medical damages, I have created hundreds of life care plans and medical cost projections for Plaintiff and Defense litigation. These plans have involved traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, burns and other catastrophic and non-catastrophic motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries.

Services Provided

The following are a subset of the services I provide. Feel free to reachout if you have any questions

Medical Cost Projections

For medical damages which require a specific estimate, i.e., surgery costs, a medical cost projection using associated current or future healthcare services and treatments will detail costs in a limited report.

Life Care Plan

A tailored life care plan will outline the recommended future medical care, interventions, and associated costs for catastrophic and non-catastrophic injuries. A narrative report and detailed tables will be created using an individual's medical condition, prognosis, and healthcare needs based on usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) medical charge/cost estimates.

Medical Bill Review

A comprehensive analysis of related medical charges compared to the usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) medical charges in any geographic region. Available for Plaintiff or Defense.

Medical Record Review

A comprehensive investigation and analysis of an individual's medical records, including past and current medical history, diagnostic tests, treatments, and physician notes.

Rebuttal Reports

A line by line analysis of plaintiff's life care plan to identify recommendations that fail to provide an accurate estimation of future medical charges.
