At Cheviot Neuropsychology we directly and succinctly address issues raised in letters of instruction from legal professionals.
Examination of the objective evidence is combined with a neuropsychological formulation of the person’s presentation to come to expert opinion on the psychological impact of a brain injury on functioning.
Opinion will also cover prognosis, potential for rehabilitation and therapy, impact on occupational performance, and need for care.
Instructions are taken from both claimant and defendant lawyers.
Neuropsychological reports are delivered within 6 weeks of seeing the client.
