WHAT WE DO
A neuropsychological evaluation is usually requested by the victim/client’s attorney in order to establish the neuropsychological sequelae of his/her head injury, his/her mental state , emotional impact of his/her injuries as well as the impact of accident to his/her work or future prospects. It can also be requested to aid assist doctors in diagnosing certain condition i.e Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Stroke, Dementia etc. A neuropsychological report will reflect all impairments, injuries, complaints and even intellectual/cognitive areas that could have been compromised by the sufferings sustained during the accident.
A psychological assessment is a process of testing that is typically conducted by a licensed psychologist (the actual testing may sometimes be administered by a psychology intern or trainee studying to become a psychologist). Depending upon what kind of testing is being done, it can take anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to a full day. Testing is usually done in a formal setting and consists largely of paper-and-pencil tests (nowadays often administered on a computer for ease-of-use).
The process is generally considered more prompt, inexpensive and procedurally simpler than litigation. Mediation does not focus on who is right or wrong. The primary focus is to resolve and get the parties to come to an amicable solution. It is a voluntary process though sometimes the courts may order it.
