Occupational Expert
Occupational Experts are professionals who specialise in assessing and providing insights related to an individual’s ability to perform work or daily activities due to physical, mental, or emotional conditions. They are often involved in cases where a person's work capacity, vocational abilities, or rehabilitation needs are in question. In legal settings, Occupational Experts act as expert witnesses, offering detailed reports and testimony about an individual's work-related capabilities, the impact of injuries or disabilities on their ability to work, and recommendations for rehabilitation or vocational training. These reports are critical in personal injury cases, workers' compensation claims, disability assessments, and disputes regarding employment rights. Occupational Experts help the court understand how a person’s condition affects their ability to work and live independently, assisting in determining appropriate compensation, retraining needs, or accommodations for returning to work.
