In traumatic brain injury cases, defense counsel will frequently attack your client using overt or subtle claims of malingering or exaggeration. These arguments are even more frequent when your client has experienced a mild traumatic brain injury. 

In this 60-minute program trial attorney Andrew Abraham will show how to aggressively and proactively attack the malingering/exaggerating defense, all the way from intake to trial. Abraham will cover:

• Picking impactful before-and-after witnesses beyond your clients’ spouses and best friends
  • The types of questions to ask these witnesses so that the true loss/alteration of consciousness is properly documented
  • How to use this information to rescore the Glasgow Coma Scale
• Making a grid of your client’s symptoms
• Using the neurometabolic cascade of concussion as a tool to explain why someone may only have subtle symptoms immediately, but grow to have significant symptoms in the days and weeks that follow
• Isolating the defense medical expert (DME) and ways to explain why your client underwent advanced neuroimaging as opposed to “regular” MRIs
• Attacking the DME’s use of the MMPI-3 to support a malingering defense
• Employing the latest literature to rebut the defense argument that everyone recovers in three to six months
