Philadelphia trial lawyers Patricia M. Giordano, G. Scott Vezina and Edward Scott Goldis presented a continuing legal education (CLE) seminar, “Personal Injury 101” sponsored by LawReviewCle in January 2013.
During the program, the attorneys guided the CLE participants through a personal injury claim from beginning to end while focusing on settlement negotiations, medical records and effective trial tactics. Giordano, Vezina and Goldis also addressed personal injury matters such as legislative and regulatory considerations; types of damages; insurance, liens and subrogation; expert examination / testimony; procedural steps in trial; and ethical considerations.
