*** CLEs are free for all CPPA members. ***

Concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can present unique challenges in personal injury litigation, particularly when injuries result from motor vehicle accidents. Understanding how these injuries are diagnosed, evaluated, and distinguished from other trauma-related symptoms is essential when working with medical records and expert evaluations.

Join us for an informative presentation exploring the science behind concussions and the role of neuropsychological assessments in evaluating brain injuries.

Topics will include:

Defining and diagnosing concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries
Understanding the distinction between objective signs and reported symptoms
Special considerations involving motor vehicle accidents and other high-velocity injuries
The relationship between the brain, nervous system, and the body's response to trauma
Understanding the different roles of neurologists and neuropsychologists
Neuropsychological evaluations, including independent evaluations conducted for medico-legal purposes
Factors contributing to persistent post-concussion symptoms
Case review and practical applications

This webinar will provide paralegals with a better understanding of the medical and neuropsychological issues that may arise in cases involving concussions and traumatic brain injuries.

This program has been approved by NFPA for one general CLE credit hour.
