Neuropsychologists also evaluate malingering and symptom validity, making them valuable to both plaintiff and defense attorneys seeking to establish or challenge claimed cognitive deficits.

Dementia and testamentary capacity assessment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a neuropsychologist and a neurologist?

A neurologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats diseases of the nervous system. A neuropsychologist is a doctoral-level psychologist who administers standardized cognitive testing to measure brain function. In TBI cases, both are often needed: the neurologist addresses the medical diagnosis while the neuropsychologist documents the specific cognitive deficits.

What types of cases require a neuropsychology expert?

Neuropsychology experts are needed in traumatic brain injury cases, post-concussion syndrome disputes, toxic exposure cognitive claims, testamentary capacity challenges, competency evaluations, and any case where cognitive impairment must be objectively measured and documented.

How much does a neuropsychology expert witness cost?

Neuropsychology expert witness fees for case review typically range from $400 to $800 per hour. Full neuropsychological evaluation, which includes several hours of testing plus interpretation and report writing, is often billed as a flat fee ranging from $3,000 to $8,000.
