This glossary explains terms you may encounter when discussing damages, life care planning, and Stevens Johnson Syndrome cases, helping you understand terminology used in medical planning and legal discussions. It covers essential concepts such as damages, life care plans, non economic damages, and how settlements address long term needs.
Damages refer to money sought to cover medical expenses, ongoing care, rehabilitation, equipment, lost income, and other costs resulting from the injury. They may also address non economic harms such as pain and suffering and impact on quality of life. The goal is to secure resources that support the survivor over time.
A life care plan is a comprehensive document outlining present and expected medical needs, therapies, equipment, home adaptations, and caregiver requirements. It guides decision making, insurance discussions and settlements, and helps coordinate care across medical and legal teams to ensure consistent support for the survivor.
Non economic damages compensate for pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life rather than direct medical costs. They reflect the real impact of the injury on daily living, relationships, and personal wellbeing, and are considered alongside economic damages in settlements or court awards.
Home care services include in home nursing, personal assistance with daily tasks, and rehabilitation therapies delivered at a survivor’s residence.
