Abstract
When dealing with a claim
for future medical expenses
in a personal injury
claim, one finds that
future medical expenses
are sometimes subdivided into further
categories namely, surgical expenses,
emotional and psychiatric expenses and
future treatment, such as medication.
The question of future surgical expenses
proves to be a problem as it entertains
the probability of the occurrence of an
uncertain future event.
