Yes. If your injury is likely to require ongoing treatment, you can pursue compensation for future medical expenses as part of your settlement or lawsuit. This includes costs for rehabilitation, medical equipment, prescription medications, prosthetics, in-home care, or long-term facility care.
Because future expenses must be supported by evidence, your attorney will work with medical and economic experts to estimate the full cost of your future care. It’s important not to settle a claim too early—wait until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI) or have clear projections from your doctors.
Insurance companies often try to limit payouts, but a skilled personal injury attorney can calculate long-term needs, negotiate with insurers, and fight to secure fair compensation for both current and future medical costs.
