Our Services Support:
Personal Injury Cases
Accidents happen and when they do, you may need a comprehensive report that focuses on your client’s abilities and functional limitations long into the future.
Workers' Compensation
If your client has been injured at work and is unable to perform his/her duties, give them a better chance to determine if this is a short or long term event. An occupational therapist brings valuable insight to the team!
Return-To-Work Planning
We consult with providers, case managers, the patient and attorney regarding client’s progress and ability to safely/efficiently perform job duties.
Independent Medical Exams
Accidents happen, therefore you will need a comprehensive report that focuses on your client’s abilities and functional limitations long into the future. The FCE can benefit the physician’s IME by highlighting skills and deficits.
