civil litigation

 A personal injury evaluation can be used to determine if you or your client has suffered a psychological injury that may qualify for compensation.  In cases of intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, a forensic evaluation can determine if the subject's trauma caused or did not cause the plaintiff's psychological injury. A forensic injury report will also help to determine if the plaintiff or defendant is malingering or the injury is the result of unrelated stressors. 

 If you have concerns that an employee is unable to perform his duties or may pose a risk of harm to himself or others, you may require a fitness for duty evaluation. A fitness for duty evaluation can determine if psychological issues are interfering with his ability to function effectively and carry out essential job functions. The evaluation also includes an assessment of whether the individual poses a risk of harm to self or others. A forensic evaluation can help to determine if the employee is suffering from a medical/ psychiatric problem that may impair his concentration, attention, judgment, and emotional control.  

 As an employer, you may wish to have your employee evaluated to determine the validity of suspected injuries related to workplace harassment or discrimination claims. A forensic evaluation can also focus on pre-employment screening or determining the scope and presence of a work-related psychological injury.
