The Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) and Your Disability
After a work-related injury, you may be asked to complete an assessment called a Functional Capacity Evaluation (“FCE”).
An FCE may be ordered by an attorney, an insurance provider offering workers’ compensation coverage or by your employer, but it must be prescribed by a doctor. The FCE is a series of tests used to evaluate your work-related physical abilities. Questions that an FCE hopes to address include: • What are your functional limitations? • Do you require additional rehabilitation? • Are you able to return to work? • If so what tasks will you be able to perform?
Physicians request an FCE to obtain additional information about your injury beyond what they can obtain during a typical workers’ compensation evaluation. The tests in an FCE will always be performed by a certified evaluator. The evaluator should be cautious to assess your injury without causing any further damage.

New Rochelle, New York Pedestrian Accidents Lawyers
More often than not accidents involving pedestrians are caused by distracted or reckless drivers. As a pedestrian you should know that you have the rights to stand up and fight for your right to compensation from the accident you have experienced due to someone else’s negligence. If you are a victim of a pedestrian accident, you may be able to obtain financial compensation to cover any financial costs and losses you have experienced on top of the physical and emotional pain and suffering you are dealing with. The visibility of a pedestrian is very limited, and some reckless drivers are not being cautious enough or just simply not taking the time to check for pedestrians while driving. Due to the combination of the massive weight of motor vehicles and the lack of protection for the pedestrians, permanent disfiguration is a common result of pedestrian accidents. Sometimes severe injuries can lead to a life with never ending pain and countless hospital visits and medical bills. The attorneys at Kommer, Bave & Ollman will aggressively fight to ensure that justice is served on your behalf. Our Attorneys handle accident cases regularly with excellent results.
