In our civil justice system, the plaintiff's remedy for their injuries from alleged negligence is money. But how is it determined that in one case an injury is worth $5.00 and the next it is worth $10.00? In personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death litigation, understanding how and what to focus on when resolving a lawsuit at the pre-suit, litigation, mediation, and jury trial stages is an essential skill for any civil practitioner. Join our faculty to hear about how they argue both sides of the central issue in so many cases - monetary damages.
