Read the how-to
The formula

How this number is built

value = present value of lifetime care + past medical + lost earning capacity + equipment + non-economic damages
Step by step

Doing it by hand

Step 1

Obtain the complete labour and delivery record, including fetal monitoring strips.

Step 2

Commission a life care plan; it converts a diagnosis into an annual cost schedule.

Step 3

Project lost earning capacity from statistical earnings for the expected education level.

Step 4

Discount future costs to present value at a rate the court will accept.

Step 5

Check the state deadline — claims for minors often have extended but still finite limits.

Questions

What people ask next

How long do I have to file?

Many states extend the deadline for injuries to a minor, but not indefinitely, and some cap it regardless of age. Verify locally and early.

What is a life care plan?

A costed, year-by-year schedule of the medical care, therapy, equipment and support a person will need for life. It is the backbone of the economic claim.
