Workers
Compensation
Work-related injuries can have a significant impact on an individual's cognitive and emotional functioning.
At Boise Neuropsychology, Dr. Jorgensen provides comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for workers' compensation claims to provide an objective measure of an individual's cognitive and emotional state following a work-related injury.
Cognitive and emotional changes from a work injury are often invisible, making them difficult to prove or disprove. Our evaluations provide an objective, science-backed analysis to clarify the extent of an individual's injuries and their impact on their ability to work.
