Expert Insights
Physician Life Care Planners
Develop customized life care plans for individuals who have suffered complex and non-complex injuries and/or illnesses. Our experts conduct thorough records reviews, work with healthcare providers as available, and consult current research to formulate our reports. These plans address not only future medical care and associated costs, but may also include items such as therapies, durable medical equipment, personal care, and household modifications as appropriate. Our expert board-certified Physician Life Care Planners develop individualized plans, which are credible, defensible, and specific to your clients’ needs.
Neuropsychologists
Test, diagnose, and opine on the severity of both neurological and psychological conditions. In doing so, they identify areas of cognitive weakness, develop targeted interventions, and dictate a plan of action. In addition to being a stand-alone service, neuropsychological assessments can also be a valuable tool in the preparation of life care plans and vocational assessments. By providing a comprehensive report and recommendations, such as neurocognitive rehabilitation and counseling, neuropsychologists help determine future medical expenses and strengthen the overall foundation of both life care plans and vocational assessments.
Vocational Experts
Assess individuals regarding their pre-injury and post-injury work skills and interests to determine whether there are viable employment options to pursue. They analyze the current job market and determine whether their clients have the ability to perform in available positions. By comparing past earnings to what (if any) employment potential presently exists, vocational experts are able to determine loss of earnings for the future.
PhD Economists
Provide expert analysis and testimony regarding economic damages incurred due to injury or illness. This may include calculating the present value of future medical expenses, household services, and lost earnings, as well as the impact of economic factors on these damages. When individuals are facing years of monetary impact due to injuries, our expert economists are essential in calculating what the true financial burden will be over time.

Life Care Plans
Are comprehensive and individualized reports of needs and future requirements, both medical and non-medical following a life-changing injury. Your clients are unique and require more than patterned, off-the-shelf planning and calculations. Our experts combine a wealth of experience and knowledge along with your client’s background, diagnoses, and current needs to assess future projected care and associated costs.
Neuropsychology Assessments
Are comprehensive evaluations that assess an individual's abilities and skills as they relate to brain function. These assessments measure cognitive function, as well as the impact any found deficits have on ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) and vocational capabilities. They also offer insight into how psychosomatic issues such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety can alter daily functioning. Neuropsychological assessments may be completed for individuals who have suffered from a range of conditions, from concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries. These assessments, along with the expertise of our neuropsychologists, provide vital information about an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, as well as any potential areas of impairment, allowing for focused treatment plans and interventions all within a strong, expert report.
Loss of Earnings Capacity Assessments
Are performed by a Vocational Expert and quantify the difference in earning capacity pre-injury versus post-injury. This is done when an injured party is unable to perform the same amount of work as a result of the injury. Typically utilized in conjunction with Present Value Assessment of Loss of Earnings.
Present Value Assessments of Loss of Earnings
Give an estimation of the value of lost earnings, lost earning capacity, mitigation earnings, and retirement benefits. This assessment is performed by a PhD Economist, and is typically done when the injured party is unable to work post-injury.
Present Value Assessments of Life Care Plans
Are performed by PhD Economists and project future costs associated with injuries, including medical bills, long-term care, and in-home care for individuals who have reduced or lost the ability to care for themselves.
