Alabama Personal Injury Lawyers Are Proud To Participate In Continuing Legal Education Seminar Entitled David vs. Goliath: Maximizing Your Client’s Recovery in Industrial Workplace Accident Cases
The Gartlan Injury Law and the Law Firm of Prince, Glover & Hayes along with Troy University Dothan and Freedom Court Reporting are proud to present a free six (6) hour continuing legal education seminar for Alabama attorneys on Friday December 4, 2015, at Troy University Dothan entitled David vs. Goliath: Maximizing Your Client’s Recovery in Industrial Workplace Accident Cases.
The attendees will learn that victory in industrial accident and injury cases is obtained through early and thorough trial preparation in each and every case from the very beginning in an effort to prove and demonstrate liability, injuries, and damages, overcome defenses, and add value to the case to maximize recovery, help the client heal and protect the community. This puts the personal injury and accident lawyer law firm in the best position to demonstrate that full compensation serves to protect the public by sending a message that people and businesses that violate rules and expose the public to unnecessary danger will be required to pay in full measure. It also serves to protect the public by exacting change and conformity to safety rules and regulations in your community. Trial preparation is about obtaining justice for your community and your clients, even if the case does not go to court. Sometimes retaining the services of the right medical, psychological, legal, financial, engineering, accident reconstruction, investigative, and other experts can help achieve this mission.
The seminar will be in the Harrison Room at Troy University Dothan and will be free of charge to the first fifty (50) Alabama attorneys that register. Continental Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.
