How this number is built
Calculating it yourself
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.
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.
