How to Maximize Damages Through the Use of Experts in Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Cases (Update)

This program, taught by Mike Brusca, Davis and Brusca Trial Lawyers, is designed to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively leverage expert witnesses in complex litigation cases, specifically focusing on medical malpractice and corporate negligence cases. The course will explore the strategic use of various expert witnesses, including Registered Nurses (RNs), Doctors, Administrative experts (LNHA), Forensic Accountants, Registered Dieticians (RD), and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) experts, to build compelling narratives that maximize damages for plaintiffs.

Through a combination of case studies and practical exercises, viewers will gain insights into the critical role experts play in case preparation and trial presentation. Viewers will also learn to identify and select the right experts, effectively communicate complex medical and financial information to juries, and create emotional connections with the audience to enhance the impact of their case.
