Worker's Compensation

Social Security Disability Representation | Expert Testimony | Worker's Compensation | Training and Presentations

There are typically four main areas that are addressed with Worker's Compensation:

Time of Injury Job Analysis

We complete on-site physical Job Analyses and Job Descriptions of the position that an injured worker held at the time that he or she sustained an injury.

Return to Work Assistance

We work with the employer, injured worker, doctor, attorney, and insurance company to outline a return-to-work plan either in a temporary, light duty or modified capacity position or in a permanent situation that will meet the injured worker’s limitations.  We stress that the plan must be agreed upon by the physician as well as all other parties concerned.  Typically, the goal is to lead to full-time employment at the wage that the worker was receiving at the time of injury.

Employability or Wage Loss Assessment

VCS works to identify alternative positions outside of the time-of-injury employer, which appear to be within the injured worker’s physical limitations.  We conduct job analyses of those alternative occupations and submit the analysis to the treating physician for review and signature.  Once the approval is obtained from the treating physician for the injured worker to be employed in these types of positions, labor market research is conducted to obtain current numbers of employees within each field as well as current entry level and average wages within each occupation.  Ultimately, a report is completed and provided to the referral source or insurance company.
