Services
Independent Medical Evaluations
Our independent medical evaluations assess causation, diagnosis, and treatment for workers' compensation and personal injury claims. We review medical records, conduct patient visits, and provide comprehensive reports to clarify job-related health issues. These evaluations help determine return-to-work readiness and impairment ratings.
Impairment Ratings
Impairment ratings measure functional limitations following workplace injuries or occupational diseases. Using the AMA Guides, 6th Edition, we calculate permanent impairment percentages to support fair compensation decisions. This service is critical for resolving long-term disability claims and legal disputes.
Record Reviews
Record reviews involve thorough analysis of medical records to evaluate disease progression, treatment efficacy, and causation. Our physicians provide written reports addressing specific questions from insurers or attorneys without requiring patient examinations. This service streamlines claims resolution.
Medical Expert Services
Our board-certified physicians offer expert witness testimony for litigation involving occupational exposures and toxicology. We provide authoritative insights on workplace hazards, medical causation, and impairment impacts to support legal strategies and court proceedings.
Site Visits
Site visits identify workplace hazards through on-site inspections. We evaluate environmental and physical risks to prevent injuries and illnesses, offering recommendations for safer working conditions. This service supports employers in complying with occupational health standards.
