Defense Damages Services

Comprehensive damages valuation services aligned to the same core service areas used across LCPMD: Future Medical Costs, Loss of Earnings, and Past Medical Expenses.

Future Medical Costs, Life Care Plan Review, and Rebuttal Analysis

Life Care Plans are developed by Physician Life Care Planners and Certified Life Care Planners, with Present Value Analysis by PhD Economists when appropriate. For defense matters, that same standards-based approach can support review of claimed future medical costs, the underlying Life Care Planning methodology, and rebuttal analysis when appropriate.

Past Medical Expenses and Medical Bill Review

LCPMD provides medical bill review and Usual, Customary, and Reasonable (UCR) analysis grounded in accepted methodologies and reliable data. This supports clearer evaluation of past medical expenses in litigation, mediation, and settlement.

Loss of Earnings Valuation

LCPMD Vocational Experts and PhD Economists provide clear, defensible analysis of the economic impact of injury. This includes Vocational Loss of Earnings Capacity Assessments and Loss of Earnings Present Value Assessments to help defense firms evaluate alleged earning losses.

What Defense Damages Valuation Involves

Defense damages valuation is not a single deliverable. It is a structured evaluation across future medical costs, loss of earnings, and past medical expenses through a unified damages framework.

Each matter receives the appropriate depth of evaluation based on case complexity and stage. LCPMD matches the right expertise to each case when matters require Physician Life Care Planners, Certified Life Care Planners, PhD Economists, and Vocational Experts.

This keeps the analysis clear, consistent, and easier for defense counsel to use across litigation, mediation, and settlement.
