Testimonials
Gary J. Leppla
“We have obtained the assistance of Beacon Rehabilitation Services, Inc. through Ronald Smolarski, from a life care, vocational, and rehabilitation standpoint, over the last several months. We received an excellent report, outstanding support from his staff, and he made himself easily available for the deposition and trial preparation process. His input was critical and valuable in the evaluation, analysis, and ultimate resolution of a serious case involving a brain-damaged child. Mr. Smolarski’s broad expertise, his participation, and support in our case were essential and very helpful.”
Ethan Vessels
Attorney at Law
“I call Ron every time I need someone to comment on Future Disability or Economic Loss. He is the Best.”
Christopher Cooke
Attorney at Law
“Ron Smolarski did a great job calculating the economic damages from the perspectives of lost economic opportunity and life care planning in a product liability and degloving amputation case. His expertise allowed the jury to understand the degree and extent of my client’s severe injuries, rendering a verdict of $27 million that compensated my client for his damages. Ron made himself available after hours during the course of the trial to answer my questions, which was very beneficial to the success of the case.”
Jeffery Finley
Attorney at Law
“Beacon’s staff and Mr. Smolarski are extremely thorough, professional, and efficient. The reports are excellent, and the data is accurate.”

Our Methodology & Process
At Beacon Rehab, our services adhere to the Standards of Practice for Life Care Planners. Here’s a summary of our methodology and process:
- Evaluee intake: We begin the process by conducting an evaluee intake. This step can be performed in the evaluee’s residence in Ohio or at our office in Ann Arbor, MI.
- Collaboration with medical professionals: We share all the information gathered during the previous step with the pertinent medical professionals and make any collaborative modifications if needed.
- Cost determination: We proceed to determine the costs based on the evaluee’s geographic location. This process can take from 5 to 50 hours. The length of the process depends on the severity of the medical diagnosis.
The whole process can take approximately 3 months for most catastrophic cases. Note that it is possible that medical projections can be completed in less time.
