Expert TestimonyVocational expert testimony is generally applicable
in cases where an individual’s ability to work or sustain work has been
impacted by injury (physical or emotional), divorce, or employment
discrimination and must be remedied through a legal procedure. In this
category The Remas Group will perform a forensic assessment of an
individual’s wage-earning capacity pre- and post-incident. The
vocational assessment is founded on regional labor market data,
appropriate testing, thorough review of employment and medical records,
as well as a face-to-face interview.
The Remas Group has been providing expert
evaluation and testimony in deposition or trial for 18 years. We are
familiar with all aspects of San Diego and regional labor market data
and the impact impairment or job change will have on activities of
daily living or a person’s ability to return to work. The scope of
testimony has included a wide variety of physical as well as emotional
conditions that are considered and compared to actual employment
information. The data is based on city, county, state, and federal data
and is pertinent to the specific case.
The evaluation is objective and well defined
to accurately and realistically classify transferable skills and
determine past, current, and future employability and a person’s
probable earning capacity.
