Medical Legal

Island Assessment Group offers a range of Medical-Legal products and services including:
   • Medical-Legal Work Capacity Evaluations
   • Medical-Legal Functional Capacity Evaluations

   • Development and production of power point presentations for negotiation, mediation, or trial

Special consideration has been given to selection and use of protocols, measurement methods, and documentation to ensure reliability and validity of our Medical-Legal products and services. Documentation is clear and logical using the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations (CCDO), the National Occupational Classification (NOC), the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), and/or a client’s actual job as terms of reference (also see Job Analysis). This attention to detail results in highly defensible products, able to withstand the rigors of legal scrutiny.

In addition to remaining current with contemporary theory and understanding of injury, Island Assessment Group staff attends Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia Conferences (e.g. – The Essential Soft Tissue Injury Conference, Brain Injury Litigation 2002: The Essential Conference). As such we are not only afforded the opportunity to further develop our understanding of injury, but gain an understanding of methods and strategies used by trial lawyers to develop and argue their cases.
