Representing Motor Vehicle Accident Victims (2013)

Your client is injured in a motor vehicle accident. Your job is to secure the maximum benefits to which your client is entitled as a result of that accident. This seminar explores the complex interrelationship amongst three main sources of recovery for people injured in motor vehicle accidents: No-Fault insurance, Workers' Compensation insurance, and personal injury actions. Seasoned practitioners will help you answer these crucial questions:

* Is my client entitled to No-Fault benefits?

* Is my client entitled to Workers- Compensation benefits?

* Can my client bring a personal injury action arising from this accident?

* Does it matter where the accident occurred?

* Does it matter who the various defendants are?

* Does my client meet the “serious injury threshold?”

* What damages can be recovered; what damages cannot be recovered?

* If my client can sue, will the recovery be subject to a lien by the insurance carrier(s)?

Attorneys who represent plaintiffs, defendants, workers- compensation claimants, and either compensation or no-fault insurance carriers will greatly benefit from this program. Learn the key statutory provisions and the latest case law developments in this ever evolving area of personal injury law from a highly regarded panel of speakers.
