We have built a staff of economists, life care planners, vocational consultants, coders, and legal nurse consultants who provide a full range of damage calculations. This practice includes independent medical examinations, neuropsychological evaluations, life care plans, analysis of lost earning capacity, vocational evaluations, medical bill analysis, and analysis of past and future medical care for reasonableness charges and reasonable value.
How We Offer Value
