Vocational and Rehabilitation Expert Services in New York City
New York City is one of the most active litigation markets in the United States. The Southern District of New York (SDNY) and the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) together handle an enormous volume of federal civil litigation, and the five-borough Supreme Court system processes thousands of personal injury and medical malpractice cases annually. In this environment, the quality and credibility of expert testimony - including vocational and life care planning opinions - is scrutinized intensely.
The city's labor market is highly stratified. Manhattan's wage profiles differ sharply from those in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, or Staten Island, and this variation must be reflected in any earnings analysis. For life care planning matters, the cost of home health care, durable medical equipment, and medical services in New York City is among the highest in the country, making a carefully documented life care plan essential in catastrophic injury cases.
Kings County Supreme Court (Brooklyn), Bronx Supreme Court, Queens County Supreme Court, and New York County Supreme Court each have their own administrative practices. KWVRS prepares evaluations and reports for matters in each of these venues, organized to the forum's disclosure requirements and drawing on New York City metropolitan wage and employment data.
