We provide bilingual, timely and clear rehabilitation and vocational assessments to the legal and disability insurance community. Having worked in healthcare and rehabilitation for over a decade, our group has experience conducting hundreds of assessments through analysis and interpretation of medical opinions and recommendations, home interviews and objective research into the current trends throughout the field.
Often, an injured person will require ongoing assistance and treatment for a substantial future period. The attendant costs can be significant, although they may not be immediately appreciable.
A Registered Rehabilitation Professional (RRP) can identify an injured person's care needs and determine what replacement services are required to put that person in the same position they would be in but for the accident. An RRP will then calculate the cost of these services and aids based on a thorough knowledge of the local market. Having an opinion from an expert in the field provides a compelling and objective opinion to assist the trier of fact in quantifying damages. The Courts have increasingly relied on analyses from RRPs in assessing awards for loss of valuable services and cost of care claims.
