Summary

Your TBI client may appear normal in casual conversation, yet suffer profound impairments in attention, memory, mood regulation, or executive function that can lead to catastrophic life disruptions: job loss, divorce, social isolation, and depression. Dan Chamberlain will teach you how to identify these hidden consequences early, corroborate them through appropriate diagnostics, and present them in a manner that resonates with jurors and claims professionals alike.

He will guide you through the entire TBI case from initial intake to post-verdict planning, showing you how to maximize recovery for traumatic brain injury survivors and their families through mastery of neuroscience, empathy for invisible disability and the ability to translate cognitive and emotional deficits into damages a jury can understand and value.
