Vocational Rehabilitation Expert Witnesses

The vocational rehabilitation expert witness is relied upon by plaintiff and defense attorneys and factfinders seeking guidance on an individual’s ability to perform work, earn money and become vocationally retrained or rehabilitated to other forms of work. Litigants whose lives were interrupted by workers compensation injury, personal injury, wrongful discharge, employment law and matrimonial disputes benefit by retaining licensed, board-certified vocational experts who perform vocational assessment employability evaluations to determine future employability and diminished wage earning capacity, and testify credibly at deposition and court hearings. Vocational experts should be wisely chosen to ensure they are compliant with the Federal Rules of Evidence (702) and Daubert, Joiner and Kumho decisions, and utilize current, peer-reviewed vocational methodology in their vocational practice.
