Why Louisiana's Top Personal Injury Attorneys Choose FCE
Our complete spectrum of medical assessments and expert services provides everything you need to build an unassailable legal strategy—from comprehensive evaluations to courtroom testimony.
01
Evidence-Based Methodology
Our methods are grounded in evidence-based research, including published studies on physiological responses during functional testing and best practice guidelines from leading professional organizations. Our assessments follow the AMA's Functional Capacity Evaluation Best Practice Guidelines that have withstood peer review and professional scrutiny, ensuring opposing counsel cannot dismiss our findings as opinion-based or unscientific.
02
Objective Performance Data
Unlike subjective medical exams, our assessments provide measurable, reproducible data on actual functional performance that opposing experts cannot easily dispute. Content-valid testing simulates actual work and life activities, providing evidence that directly relates to your client's claimed limitations and their impact on earning capacity, activities of daily living, and quality of life—exactly what juries understand.
03
Courtroom Confidence
Our defensible methodology gives you confidence in depositions and when facing defense experts who challenge your evidence, translating directly to stronger settlement negotiations and courtroom presentations.
04
Maximized Case Value
Objective functional data helps you prove the full extent of your client's limitations, supporting higher damage calculations for lost earning capacity, future medical needs, reduced quality of life, permanent functional restrictions, and vocational rehabilitation requirements.
