Handling Motor Vehicle Accident Cases
Issues of insurance and litigation
Why attend?
Representing an injured client or defending an alleged tortfeasor in a “simple” motor vehicle accident case only seems simple to those who do not do it. It is essential for attorneys to know the typical and not-sotypical issues that arise in car crash cases, how to negotiate, when to settle, and how to decide if the settlement is reasonable. Our expert panel guides you through the intricacies of motor vehicle torts, from understanding the basic auto insurance policy to valuing your client’s case to preparing for trial.
