Doherty Stobbs are experts in advising the Courts on loss of earnings, vocational rehabilitation and assessment of retraining potential for people with acquired disabilities, following personal injury or medical negligence (also unfair dismissal claims). We also offer a range of services to help injured claimants rebuild their working lives and return to work.

Our professional background and experience is in the fields of occupational/ work psychology, vocational rehabilitation for people with disabilities, careers coaching / counselling, design of objective selection methods, resilience coaching and organisational consulting. Instructions are accepted from solicitors representing either the Claimant or the Defendant, or for the preparation of joint reports.

As professional practitioners with much experience of working in a vocational rehabilitation context for people with acquired disability, we believe that we are able to approach the employment issues in litigation from a broader and more holistic perspective than many Employment Consultants and so contribute significantly towards achieving greater accuracy in the valuation of a loss of earnings claim.

We have a good understanding of the employment implications of disabilities and of the behavioural and psychological demands required in a range of occupations.
