Vocational Rehabilitation
Assessments
Our rehabilitation experts are licensed and certified professionals, who have worked extensively in both clinical and forensic capacities. We provide vocational rehabilitation assessments of injured individuals to determine an individual’s rehabilitation potential and wage-earning capacity to determine any changes in vocational status.
Life Care Planning
Life care planning originated in the 1980’s as a supplemental endeavor of rehabilitation professionals. Initially, life care planning was primarily used in catastrophic cases (i.e., spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burn cases, amputations). More recently, life care plans have been developed in non-catastrophic cases, including orthopedic injuries and chronic pain cases.
Forensic Economics
Our in-house economist translates vocational findings into defensible economic damages figures, calculating the present value of future losses, accounting for medical cost inflation, discount rates, work-life expectancy, and fringe benefits.
