Traumatic and spinal disc injuries are among the most frequent and potentially significant, severe and catastrophic injuries suffered by plaintiffs in personal injury cases and petitioners in workers’ compensation cases. Representation of such clients requires not only the astute mind and skill of the trial lawyer, but it also requires knowledge of the medical aspects of such injuries to properly conduct a direct and cross examination of the medical witnesses. This course provides knowledge of the medical aspects and the utilization of such knowledge and provides an additional knowledge for the direct examination of treating physicians and, in particular, the cross examination of defense medical witnesses by medical literature.
