Clinical Picture

Despite initial gains in mobility and basic daily functioning, Michael continues to struggle with memory issues, difficulty concentrating, and mood instability. Neuropsychological testing confirms significant cognitive impairments. Specialists have warned of potential complications, including early-onset dementia due to TBI-related brain changes.

The Box of Dox Approach

Our team conducted a thorough review of 1,800+ pages of hospital records, therapy notes, and neuroimaging reports. We collaborated with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists to forecast Michael's medical and caregiving needs over the next decade.

Three-Tiered Future Medical Projection

Evidence-based medical cost forecasting with comprehensive scenario planning.

Minimal Scenario

$620,000

Covers continued outpatient therapies, medications for pain and mood regulation, and periodic neurological evaluations.

Mid-Range Scenario

$1,420,000

Accounts for progressive cognitive decline, increased therapy frequency, caregiver support, and potential assistive devices for independent living.

Maximal Scenario

$3,100,000

Includes full-time in-home care, advanced therapies, long-term residential rehabilitation, and contingency for emerging complications.

Strategic Impact

The evidence-based, tiered report gave Michael's legal team the tools to negotiate with the insurance carrier effectively. It clearly demonstrated the lifelong impact of his injuries and the financial implications of inadequate coverage.

Result

The Box of Dox report led to a structured settlement that fully funded long-term care and safeguarded Michael's future quality of life.
