Overview

In personal injury cases, a Forensic Neuropsychological Evaluation assesses cognitive and emotional changes following events such as traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, or other medical incidents. The focus is on how these changes affect everyday functioning and work capacity. Test data are interpreted in light of medical history, prior functioning, and other relevant information.

Purpose

Attorneys and insurers rely on these evaluations to determine whether cognitive difficulties are present, how severe they are, and how they relate to the injury. The results help guide treatment planning and inform decisions about settlement, compensation, or return-to-work options. Evaluations also provide a structured, objective foundation for discussing ongoing needs and limitations.

Our Approach

At Segel Psychological Center, psychologists have extensive experience with traumatic brain injury and other neurologically complex conditions. Comprehensive test batteries are used, including measures designed to assess the validity and consistency of responses, and medical records are carefully integrated into the analysis. Reports are written clearly and thoughtfully so that individuals, families, attorneys, and insurers can understand the findings and their implications.
