2 Designed Especially for Workers Compensation Attorneys! Knowing how to successfully present or refute claims of medical injuries can make an enormous difference in the size of an award or negotiated settlement. Sam Hodge and Jay Hartman, two skilled litigators and highly rated presenters, make practical, case-clarifying sense of the causes, trends, diagnosis and treatment of the most common disorders of the back, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and wrist the parts of the body most susceptible to injury. Each segment will start with an anatomical orientation, followed by videos of actual surgeries, and will conclude with a discussion of injury issues, causation and recovery. This lively seminar will give you a solid understanding of common diagnoses and treatment techniques, improving your ability to plan and manage cases involving injury claims. Here is just some of what you ll learn: Why do injuries to the upper extremities account for the longest absences from work? Is all carpal tunnel syndrome work related, and if not, why is it so universally considered to be? Why is the shoulder so complicated? What is the anatomy of the knee and why is it so frequently injured? What are the most common knee and shoulder surgeries? What is the real extent to which degenerative disc disease must limit a person s ability to work and recreate? And much more!
