Sí. 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.
Dado que los gastos futuros deben estar respaldados por evidencia, tu abogado trabajará con expertos médicos y económicos para estimar el costo total de tu atención futura. Es importante no llegar a un acuerdo demasiado pronto– espera hasta alcanzar la mejoría médica máxima (MMI) o hasta que tus médicos tengan proyecciones claras de tu recuperación.
