Vocational Evaluations

Our mission is to provide independent vocational evaluation and disability analysis to individuals who have suffered from physical or cognitive injury. We strive to provide independent vocational opinions for both defense or plaintiff attorneys, insurance companies, employers, or individuals who have Personal Injury, Worker’s Compensation, Veterans Affairs, Social Security Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Divorce cases.

A Vocational Evaluation is required when physical or psychological injury prevents the individual from obtaining and maintaining substantial gainful work activity. This report includes transferable skills analysis of past work activity, analysis of education, age and how physical or psychological limitations could affect return to work in any capacity within the national economy.

We help attorneys by calculating accurate economic damages in their cases. A large portion of damages are based on lost earnings and lost earning potential in most personal injury cases. Our testing and reports are important in helping determine pre-injury and post-injury earning capacity.

With over 20 years of case management, rehabilitation and mental health care and over 8 years of legal nurse consulting and life care planning experience, Robert has collaborated on and prepared hundreds of vocational assessment reports to help identify any physical or psychological limitations and apply them to the competitive labor market forming an opinion as to employability. He has testified as an expert over 50 times across the country.

We provide Future Earning Capacity Analysis for all types of cases. If a person is not able to return to work or can only work on a limited basis, then a Future Earning Capacity Analysis will document loss of earnings to work-life expectancy.

We provide Future Medical Cost Analysis in Worker’s Compensation and Personal Injury cases. If an injury requires future medical care or long-term medications, this analysis can be used to identify future costs to life expectancy. Medical records are reviewed with collaboration with treating providers, and projections are based on providers’ ongoing diagnoses, treatments, prognosis, and recommendations.
