Personal injury cases produce no shortage of experts, primarily medical experts, who are ready, trained and available to deliver testimony on the injuries of the plaintiff. Typically recruited by the medical insurance companies to perform an Insurance Medical Examination (IME), these medical experts, all of whom are paid for their testimonies, will submit that there were no damages suffered by the plaintiff and no sustained injuries. The medical experts enlisted are typically quite skilled, convincing and experienced.

This CLE course, designed for plaintiffs’ attorneys, will offer instruction in turning expert opinions against the defendant and using them to prove their cases. Offering specific techniques for undermining negative opinions, impeaching the witness, revealing bias, attacking witness credibility and building an effective cross-examination, the course will review the structure, elements, and style of a successful cross to achieve a plaintiff’s verdict. The course will also review relevant case law to illustrate the influence a well-designed examination can have on the outcome of your case.
