Vocational and Earning Capacity Assessments

Our Certified Rehabilitation Experts at IRC provide Vocational and Earning Capacity Assessments of injured clients that determine their wage-earning capacity and rehabilitation potential and define their overall vocational status.

Our extensive employability assessment encompasses an initial vocational interview that documents things like reported physical limitations, vocational interests, transferable skills, work and earnings history, vocational training, past education, values, and motivation to work.

A thorough review of labor market research, medical documentation, and especially Functional Capacity Evaluations, provide the true framework to formulate opinions regarding pre versus post-injury employability and rehabilitation potential.

Lost wages and earning capacity are extremely valuable in determining the total sum of wages an individual could have earned before their injury. We then extrapolate their earning capacity and match their ability to earn wages in the future following their injury or illness.

Oftentimes, attorneys emphasize establishing clear liability while the impact of the injury on the client’s ability to work and earn an income is overlooked. The experts at IRC can help attorneys bridge that gap and minimize the misunderstandings between the medical evidence relating to the disability and the vocational reports that project damages into the future.
