Can Medical Equipment and Home Modifications Be Part of a Claim?

They can be, depending on the circumstances. A catastrophic injury claim may involve medical equipment, home accessibility modifications, and assistance with daily activities, alongside past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, and reduced future earning capacity.

Because those needs can continue for years, medical and economic professionals may help evaluate ongoing treatment, support needs, and reduced earning capacity. In some cases specialists develop a life care plan identifying anticipated treatment, support, and resources connected to the person's condition.
