What Is a Medico-Legal Neuropsychological Evaluation?

A medico-legal neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates cognition, mood, and behavior. It is often used to determine whether cognitive changes are present, how severe they are, and how they may relate to a specific injury or medical history. These evaluations are commonly used in personal injury litigation, disability claims, insurance disputes, work-related injuries.
