Forensic Evaluation

The Forensic Evaluation is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation to estimate damages, analyze a client's current functional status in relation to the pre-injury level of function and post-injury presentation, and evaluate the potential for improvement.

The Forensic Evaluation can be useful to:

• Plaintiff attorneys who are trying to estimate damages;
• Defense attorneys who must evaluate the extent of the claim and potential for improvement;
• Workers Compensation and liability carriers who must assess the extent of a patient's disability and potential for improvement so that appropriate reserves can be established.

Objectives of the Forensic Evaluation are to:

• Conduct a comprehensive analysis of pre-injury status.
• Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of post injury function.
• Identify all factors contributing to current presentation.
• Make recommendations regarding further treatment, if indicated, that will improve function.

The Forensic Evaluation is particularly useful to:

• Estimate damages.
• Prepare a comprehensive settlement demand.
• Clearly identify strengths and weaknesses in functional/real world settings.
• Comprehensively evaluate a claim and set reserves.
• Identify malingering or symptom magnification.
• Identify medical and rehabilitation treatment interventions that may maximize the patient's daily functioning.
• Document the level of support and supervision needed to ensure adequate function.
