INJURIES IN FOCUS: THE BODY & THE BRAIN
Friday, November 18, 2022
In-person at the Hotel Halifax (formerly the Delta Halifax)
Successful personal injury lawyers understand injuries: how they occur, how they're treated, how they affect clients, and how to prove them. Join APTLA's faculty of doctors and lawyers as we look closer at the [five] most common injuries you will deal with in your practice. You will learn the mechanism of each injury, how each is diagnosed and treated, the "normal" course of recovery, and the long-term implications for your client. For each injury, we'll pair medical experts with experienced trial lawyers and we'll conclude with a plenary discussion led by an experienced panel to talk strategy and best practices for maximizing damage claims. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to improve your medical IQ. Register now - your clients will thank you for it.
This conference represents 6.5 Hours of MCPD Credits for lawyers governed by the Law Societies of NS, PEI & NL and is accredited for 6.5 MCPD Hours by the Law Society of NB.
