Employability Evaluations: How to Document Damages in a Personal Injury Case

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION

Personal injury cases often involve more than just medical bills. For many individuals, the true cost of an injury lies in its impact on their ability to work and earn a living. This is where employability evaluations play a vital role, helping attorneys and their clients document damages and secure fair compensation.

What Are Employability Evaluations?

Employability evaluations assess an injured individual’s ability to return to work, either in their pre-injury capacity or in a modified role. Conducted by vocational experts, these evaluations analyze a wide range of factors, including:


  • The severity and type of injury.
  • Current and future medical restrictions.
  • Skills, education, and previous work experience.
  • The current job market and availability of suitable roles.
