Dr. Lafosse works with both defense and plaintiff attorneys in personal injury cases, which usually involve traumatic brain injury (TBI).  He specializes in high value, complex cases that require objectivity, excellent analytical skills, a critical review of records, an evidence-based evaluation, effective communication, and an enjoyment of working in an adversarial setting.  Dr. Lafosse can also provide consultation to assist attorneys with pre-deposition and pre-trial preparation.

Forensic services include:

•  Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs)

•  Medical record reviews

•  Case consultation

•  Guardianship / Capacity evaluations

•  Fitness for duty evaluations

Dr. Lafosse has two unique characteristics that make him particularly effective in a litigation context.  First, as a university professor who has taught courses in both psychology and neuroscience for over 20 years, he has a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the neuroscientific aspects of a case than a typical neuropsychologist whose professional background is rooted only in the discipline of psychology.  Dr. Lafosse can, therefore, more effectively address and incorporate these matters into the legal case.  Second, as a university professor, he is a skilled communicator who can explain things clearly and understandably to a jury.  For an example of Dr. Lafosse’s communication skills, listen to his interview on a show related to the development of Alzheimer’s disease in the Latino population, which aired on Colorado Public Radio.
