Medical Cost Projections
Focused Financial Insight for Future Medical Damages
Accurate Medical Cost Projections for Injury and Malpractice Cases
When You Need a Clear Picture of Future Medical Costs
In personal injury, medical malpractice, and catastrophic injury cases, understanding the potential cost of future care is critical. But not every case requires a full Life Care Plan. For attorneys who need a focused, cost-based analysis without extensive narrative or clinical interviews, a Medical Cost Projection can be a strategic and cost-effective solution.
Melissa Sims, RN, BSN, CLNC, CNLCP, LCP-C, provides evidence-based Medical Cost Projections for plaintiff and defense attorneys across Florida — helping litigation teams quantify future medical expenses based on medical records and established standards of care.
Challenges Attorneys Face When Estimating Future Medical Costs
You’re preparing for settlement, mediation, or trial
You need defensible future cost data, but not a full life care plan
Opposing experts have submitted inflated or unsupported projections
You’re unsure how to account for long-term treatments, medications, or therapies
You need clear, well-sourced numbers — not guesswork or assumptions
Melissa helps you confidently move forward by providing well-researched, data-driven medical cost reports tailored to your case.
