Vocational Expertise in Injury & Wrongful Death Cases

✅ Why it matters: Quantifies damages and wage loss with credible, labor market–based evidence.

In personal injury and wrongful death matters, financial recovery often depends on accurately estimating lost earning capacity. Our vocational evaluations translate complex vocational data into clear, defensible findings that attorneys, judges, and juries can understand.

We assess how injuries, disabilities, or death affect an individual’s ability to work — both now and in the future — using current labor market research and objective vocational methodology.

Loss of Earning Capacity Analysis

We evaluate what the injured person could have earned compared to what they are realistically capable of earning after an accident or injury. Our analyses consider education, skills, medical restrictions, and regional job availability to determine the true impact on earning capacity.

Employability Assessments

Post-injury employability depends on more than recovery — it’s about practical reintegration into the workforce. We evaluate how functional limitations, retraining needs, and job market realities intersect to determine whether a person can return to work and at what capacity.

Residual Functional Capacity Reviews

When injuries limit work potential, we assess residual functional capacity (RFC) — the ability to perform specific job-related tasks despite limitations. Our evaluations help establish the bridge between medical restrictions and employability outcomes.

Wrongful Death Earnings Projections

In wrongful death cases, we estimate the decedent’s future earning potential based on work history, education, and career trajectory. These projections provide attorneys and economists with reliable, evidence-based data to support damage calculations.
