These cases are tough. If you want to win and get the FULL VALUE of your client’s case, you have to learn the medicine and then present it effectively to the jury through witness and exhibits. It’s not enough to offer medical records. You have to make your case and destroy the defendant’s medical experts. At this program you will learn how to get the information in, make it understandable and cross-examine the defense medical examiner. You will lean how to use demonstrative exhibits, overcome common issues and effectively teach the medicine to the jury.
