About This Course
Successfully litigating catastrophic personal injury cases requires a thorough understanding of both the legal and medical issues that shape liability, damages, and case value. This CLE program offers a practical perspective from a presenter who is both a registered nurse and an attorney with extensive experience representing plaintiffs in serious injury litigation.
The course examines the lifecycle of a catastrophic injury case, from initial client intake and case evaluation through discovery, expert development, settlement negotiations, and trial preparation. Participants will gain practical insights into identifying key medical issues, effectively presenting complex injuries, and maximizing the value of damages claims. The program also highlights strategic considerations that can benefit attorneys representing defendants and insurance carriers by providing a deeper understanding of plaintiff-side case development and litigation strategy.
