That medical treatment can take months or even years to be complete, and there is always a chance that there will be long-term medical care for the foreseeable future, such as check-up every six months with a specialist for the rest of your life.

Claims for future treatment do not always have to be life-long treatment. It can be a one-off future operation or a one-off batch of physiotherapy, etc. This kind of claim is more common in claims where the injured person is under the age of 18 and has to wait until they are physically mature before the full extent of the negative effects of their injury is known. Or they have to wait until they are physically mature to get the most benefit from any treatment.

Fortunately, if you can prove that this future treatment is something that you now require solely because of the accident or negligence that you have suffered, then you will be able to make a claim for the cost of future treatment part of your claim for financial compensation.
