Vocational expert witnesses specialize in vocational evaluation, vocational rehabilitation, occupational counseling, and labor evaluation services for persons filing disability claims. Vocational experts also provide litigation support and expert witness testimony for worker’s compensation claims and disability claims following catastrophic injuries. Vocational rehabilitation expert witnesses also educate patients about their rights, including disability benefits, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
In personal injury lawsuits involving disability claims and associated disability benefits, a vocational expert witness’s testimony could cover several topics. For example, a vocational expert’s testimony could include an assessment of a person’s skills, re-training potential, motivation, and financial needs. A vocational expert testifies to any standardized diagnostic testing they’ve conducted on the disability claimant. A vocational expert witness may include recommendations for future rehabilitation counseling, life care planning, and workplace accommodations.
