An Overview of the RAPEL Methodology for Life Care Planners in Tort Cases

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Personal injury litigation is intended to compensate victims for damages when a party is found liable. Included in the reparation are costs associated with future medical care, lost earnings capacity, and other quantifiable damages. This article reviews the elements for expert opinions utilizing the RAPEL mnemonic, or memory prompt, for recollection of relevant elements, and offers suggestions for effective and reasonable opinions for tort cases. Although this article is most useful for life care planners who also are vocational experts, there are many areas of importance for professionals who act solely as a life care planner.
