Forensic Precision. Evidence-Based Analysis.
Westlake Forensic Rehabilitation provides objective, methodologically rigorous forensic reports for use in civil litigation, serving both plaintiff and defense counsel with equal professional independence.
Our specialists apply published standards of practice, comprehensive clinical assessment, and data analysis to produce defensible life care plans, medical cost projections, and vocational evaluations. Each report is grounded in evidence, peer-reviewed research, and collaboration with treating and consulting medical providers.
Our work spans personal injury, medical malpractice, disability, and civil litigation matters. Regardless of retaining party, our opinions are derived solely from clinical findings and professional judgment.
A rare distinction: Westlake Forensic Rehabilitation holds dual certification in vision rehabilitation (CLVT and CVRT) alongside a Master of Blind Rehabilitation Therapy, credentials held by virtually no other forensic life care planning practice in the country. This makes us uniquely positioned to handle cases involving vision loss, low vision, and ocular injury with a depth of clinical expertise that standard life care planners simply cannot offer.

Vision Loss Cases Require a Different Level of Expertise.
When a case involves vision loss, the clinical complexity demands expertise that goes far beyond standard life care planning credentials.
Vision loss cases, whether from traumatic ocular injury, stroke, diabetic retinopathy, medical error, or neurological damage, involve highly specialized rehabilitation needs that most life care planners are not trained to evaluate. Adaptive equipment, orientation and mobility training, low vision therapy, assistive technology, and vocational retraining for the visually impaired are areas requiring deep clinical knowledge to assess accurately and defend under cross-examination.
Westlake Forensic Rehabilitation holds both the Certified Low Vision Therapist (CLVT) and Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist (CVRT) credentials. This combination is exceptionally rare in the forensic space and means that our vision loss life care plans are built on a foundation of direct clinical expertise rather than research alone.
Whether you are litigating a case involving partial vision loss, legal blindness, or progressive ocular disease, we provide the forensic analysis and expert support needed to accurately capture the full scope of future rehabilitation needs.
