Life care planning is the process of assessing and quantifying an individual's current and future care needs following injury or disability. A life care plan identifies the medical, rehabilitative, attendant care, equipment, and support services required over the individual's lifetime and projects the associated costs. It provides counsel and the court with a transparent, evidence-based foundation for determining future care damages.

CBA is retained by both plaintiff and defence counsel in personal injury, medical malpractice, and estate litigation across Ontario and Canada. Our commitment to objectivity and evidence-based methodology ensures the same professional standard regardless of the retaining party.

We provide life care planning services across a broad range of civil litigation matters, including catastrophic personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, birth injury, sexual abuse claims, correctional misconduct, fatality and dependency claims, estate litigation, and class action and mass tort proceedings.

The appropriate report depends on the complexity of the injury, the stage of the litigation, and the specific needs of the matter. A Future Care Needs and Cost Analysis is used for complex or catastrophic cases, a Cost Projection suits matters with defined medical issues, and a Past Care Valuation covers the period from injury to trial. Our team can advise on the right report type during an initial consultation at no obligation.
