About The Program:

Trucking accident litigation cases are complex. They not only involve interaction between state and federal law, they require a knowledge of personal injury law, wrongful death statutes, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and more. In addition, anyone representing a plaintiff or defendant in a trucking litigation case must also have an understanding of the mechanics of a trucking accident.

In this seminar, experts will address truck accident cases from a host of important aspects – from factors to consider and questions to ask upon intake of a case to carrier safety matters, important information that you will need in discovery, methods for reconstructing the collision, theories of liability, trial tactics and insurance issues.

Our panel of experts will guide you the intricacies of handling a trucking accident case with practical tips, the most important applicable laws and regulations and strategies for winning so that you can handle your next case with confidence.
