“Strategic case planning allows you to shape a trial story and case presentation that incorporates what we know about juror learning, memory, and decision making. It identifies the critical points for your case and the opposition's case, and it serves as a guide, developing relevant visuals that are tightly integrated with both your case and the case you are rebutting."

New Live Webinar January 15th at 3:30 PM EST. Changing the Landscape of mTBI Using Advanced MRI with Dr. Randall Benson.
Sign up to attend now: https://tinyurl.com/j678vf4u

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) present a problem for plaintiffs’ lawyers: jurors hear “mild” and think “minor.” However, with memory loss, debilitating headaches, and pronounced behavioral changes, mTBIs can be a major challenge in a person’s life.

Moreover, mTBIs can be difficult to identify. Patients suffering injuries from motor vehicle accidents, assaults, and falls can live with symptoms for years if not diagnosed correctly. Misdiagnosis can not only lead to ongoing issues, but also accusations of malingering at trial.

Join globally regarded behavioral neurologist and imaging neuroscientist Dr. Randall Benson of the Center for Neurologic Studies as he illustrates the work involved in diagnosing mTBI cases using advanced MRI. Using a sample case, this brain injury seminar will cover:

– Biomechanical components of an mTBI diagnosis
– mTBI symptoms in different populations
– Neurobehavioral findings on examinations
– Neuropsychological evaluations
– Advanced MRI techniques, and when to request them
– Neuro-optometric evaluations
– Endocrine evaluations

If you have clients with mild traumatic brain injuries, it is important to stay up to date on the latest methods utilized in diagnosis and treatment. Accurate diagnosis can not only improve the quality of life for your clients and their families, but dramatically improve their case outcomes.

“It’s easy for a corporation to pay lip service to safety by creating serious-looking policies and procedures, and then ignore them to focus on increasing profits.

It may not take long, but it is an essential ingredient of your closing."

“When I question the defendant on the lack of property damage to the plaintiff's vehicle, I ask him if he would put his hand in between the two cars at the moment of impact, Naturally, they always decline. The next question I ask is, because your hand would be crushed, correct?" Naturally, the car can be minimally damaged, and the human body can be horribly injured."
