How Trivent Legal’s Settlement Calculator Simplifies Bard Hernia Mesh Cases
In high-stakes litigation, defense firms often face challenges in evaluating and disputing the projected costs of medical care presented by plaintiffs. Trivent Legal’s Medical Cost Projections (MCP) services are designed to assist defense attorneys in accurately assessing future medical expenses, ensuring fair and evidence-based outcomes. Here’s how our MCP services can transform your approach to medical cost evaluations.
What is a Medical Cost Projection (MCP)?
A Medical Cost Projection anticipates the future medical needs and associated costs of an individual who has sustained injuries. MCPs help establish a roadmap for potential medical treatments, rehabilitation, and ongoing care expenses. At Trivent Legal, we specialize in providing defensible and data-backed MCPs to support defense firms in countering inflated claims.
Types of Medical Cost Projections
- Catastrophic Injuries
- Applicable for severe, life-altering injuries requiring lifelong medical care.
- Medical needs are projected based on a life expectancy of 80 years.
- Includes long-term rehabilitation, surgical interventions, and ongoing therapy.
- Non-Catastrophic Injuries
- Applies to injuries anticipated to heal over time with proper treatment.
- Cost projections extend only until full recovery is expected.
Tools and Mechanisms Used for MCP
Trivent Legal employs advanced tools to ensure precision and locality-based cost evaluations:
