What “Medical Expenses” Means
Medical expenses are the costs of injury-related care — emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, imaging, therapy, medications, equipment, and mileage to appointments — recoverable both as amounts already incurred and as future care reasonably expected.

Future care gets life-care-planner projections, because tomorrow’s surgery belongs in today’s settlement.
