An in depth look at Personal Injury.  What makes a good personal injury case, and cases you should avoid.  The key ingredients that determine an appropriate case and injury.  How a doctor can ensure that the doctor and the patient do not make mistakes in a PI case that is detrimental to the patient or the practice.  How to tell when there really is an injury and when the evidence does not support a case.

A highlight of this class is seeing a real mock trial that resulted in a significant defense verdict.  You will see how a real defense attorney set up the questioning and how there was nothing that could be done by the plaintiff attorney, all because of common mistakes the doctor made.  This happens frequently in cases and can all be avoided.  However, it is very easy to avoid these problems and usually will result in a case not going to trial.  But if you must go to trial, you will be prepared.
