A winter storm brings unimaginable havoc, most of which is felt in the immediate inconveniences. But a recent major winter storm has had long-lasting consequences in the shape of ongoing litigation over slip and fall injuries. This CLE course will offer a hypothetical slip and fall case from the perspectives of three involved parties, plaintiff’s attorney, defense attorney, and meteorologist expert.

The course will take you step-by-step through the chronology of meteorological events which served to create the hazardous situation. The course will be looked at through the eyes of the plaintiff’s attorney with the goal of understanding when and how to retain and use a meteorologist expert. The case will then be viewed from the perspective of the defense attorney with a similar focus on the role of the meteorologist in this theoretical case. Potential outcomes will be presented.
