Program Summary

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) claims are some of the most difficult to evaluate and analyze. From the terminology used, to the science behind the claim to insurance and legal issues presented, TBI claims and cases have unique challenges. This program is designed to provide insight from an experienced defense attorney and insurance professional as to how TBI claims are analyzed.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is a TBI claim / case
  • What are the key facts / materials that the defense and the defense carrier use when evaluating the claim
  • What are the broader insurance implications of the TBI claim
  • What are the resolution goals of the defendant and the defense carrier when addressing a TBI case
