Personal Injury Services

 At Ferland & Associates, we specialize in comprehensive in-home assessments, with particular expertise in catastrophic injury evaluation. Our in-home assessments provide a crucial, real-world perspective on an individual's functional abilities and limitations within their own environment.

Enhanced Multi-Day Functional Assessments:  For the most complex of cases involving combinations of physical, emotional and cognitive impairments, our enhanced multi-day assessments serve to capture the functional and quality of life impact of a traumatic event.  We strive to complete a comprehensive and compelling assessment of an individual's daily function , bundled in a clear, throrough and objective assessment of facts.    We utilize a combination of in-home and situational assessment procedures over a 3 - 5 day assessment period to form a compelling narrative which distills complex matters to a clear, court-ready document.  

Catastrophic Injury Assessments: Led by Sebastien Ferland, our team has extensive experience in assessing catastrophic injuries. We understand the profound impact these injuries can have on an individual's life and functioning. Our assessments thoroughly document the extent of injuries, impairments, and limitations, providing a clear picture of the client's needs and challenges.

Situational Assessments: Our situational assessments go beyond standard evaluations. We observe and analyze how individuals perform in real-life scenarios within their home environment. This approach allows us to identify specific challenges and opportunities for improvement that may not be apparent in clinical settings.

GOSE Evaluations: We are proficient in conducting Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) evaluations, a key tool in assessing functional outcomes after severe brain injury. Our GOSE assessments provide a standardized measure of overall disability, crucial for legal and rehabilitation planning purposes.

• Thorough observation and analysis of daily living activities
