Find a Neuropsychology Expert →Overview
Neuropsychology experts administer and interpret standardized cognitive testing to assess brain function and document the nature and extent of cognitive impairment. They are essential in traumatic brain injury litigation, where objective measurement of memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed determines damages. Neuropsychologists also evaluate malingering and symptom validity, making them valuable to both plaintiff and defense attorneys seeking to establish or challenge claimed cognitive deficits.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
