Insurance Defense

This is a specialized assessment conducted by a forensic psychologist to determine the psychological impact of an injury claimed in a personal injury case. This evaluation is critical for insurance companies in defending against claims where the extent of psychological injury is contested.

The primary objectives of the evaluation are to ascertain the veracity of psychological claims, determine the extent of psychological harm directly related to the injury, and identify any pre-existing psychological conditions that might influence the claimant’s current state. The findings can help insurance companies make informed decisions regarding claim settlements and are also used to provide evidence in court if the claim proceeds to litigation. The evaluation seeks to offer an unbiased perspective on the psychological dimensions of the case, aiding all parties in understanding the mental health implications of the personal injury claim.
