Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex and sometimes poorly understood injury. There are a host of physical, sensory, and cognitive symptoms that can manifest, from immediately after an accident to months later. TBI can profoundly affect an injured party while at the same time, create challenges for both medical professionals and litigation counsel. Join us for this comprehensive course and examine the medical and legal issues surrounding the collection, assessment, and tendering of evidence surrounding TBIs.
At this course, you will learn:
- the different medical disciplines bearing on brain injury cases
- the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the various medical disciplines
- how to effectively manage medical evidence in brain injury litigation
