Description
Increase the Value of Emotional Injuries
The next time a defense doctor claims that part or all of the injury is in your client’s head, use this book’s questions and the defense doctor’s answers to establish causation of damage more serious than physical injury.
The cost to restore function to a damaged mind can be far larger than what is needed for an injured limb. But jurors naturally doubt what they cannot see and trust what they can.
Here is practice-proven guidance for bringing the financial exposure of defendants and insurers more in line with the mental and emotional damage your clients have suffered.
