Serious Injury Claims - Breaking the Chain of Causation & Medical Treatment

Introduction

This new virtual classroom seminar, aimed primarily at Claimant lawyers, will consider the following thorny issues:

• Where a Claimant is injured by the Defendant’s negligence, but then receives negligent medical treatment making the injuries and disability far worse, who is liable?
• Is it the original Defendant, the treatment provider or both?

This session will review the law and consider the caselaw in this complex but interesting area.
