Summary

The impact of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) on the individual and family can be devastating. Insurers will fight you on this notion at every turn with claims that no loss of consciousness means no TBI, that no findings on brain imaging scan means no TBI, and that a ‘mild’ TBI is temporary and no big deal. 

Richard H. Adler and Melissa D. Carter will show you how to effectively dismantle the insurance neuropsychological exam and protect your client at the examination, what to look for in the report, and the intent of the MMPI and other neurocognitive evaluations used by defense experts to challenge your client’s TBI.

You will also learn a novel, potent approach to succeed at deposition and trial against the insurer’s nay-saying Defense Medical Expert, using Washington state TBI-related laws as a model and example on how to use this approach with your own  state laws
