practical tools about how to analyze a head trauma case. You will gain skill in reviewing facts
of a fall case and learn from expert witnesses who have reviewed hundreds of
cases.
2. You’ll learn skills and techniques you can use immediately. The
course is not full of dry theory; it is a fast paced, comprehensive way to
learn practical, useful information.
