Overview

In this update to Mr. Schnurman's original course, Alan Schnurman and Clifford Tucker team up to teach viewers the most effective methods to settle their client's personal injury cases. Mr. Schnurman discusses the main factors that affect the worth of a personal injury lawsuit and a variety of techniques he's acquired over his 40 years of experience as a plaintiff's attorney. He explains everything from how to get a settlement offer without actually asking for one to how to determine the optimal time to settle a case. Additionally, he addresses why providing materials to the claims adjuster is extremely helpful in procuring a settlement. Throughout this engaging presentation, veteran attorney Schnurman fields questions from rising star Clifford Tucker that cover many common negotiation issues that come up in personal injury law practice.
