Upcoming Seminar Offers Some Great Discussion Involving Issues Related to Personal Injury Litigation in Alabama
I have now been involved in several prior legal seminars that were planned and hosted by the National Business Institute (NBI). NBI offers continuing legal education courses in numerous states, including Alabama.
On one earlier occasion, NBI planned a seminar that brought together a number of distinguished Judges in North Alabama to provide practical advice. Due to a conflict, the attorney scheduled to host the question and answer session had to cancel. I offered to fill-in for him as host and greatly enjoyed the opportunity to interact with both the Judges and audience of attorneys attending the event. Last year, I attended an environmental law seminar sponsored by NBI. Again, I was thoroughly impressed with the speakers and their presentations.
On November 17, NBI is sponsoring a seminar in Huntsville titled "Personal Injury 101." When NBI approached me about being one of the presenters at the seminar, I was hesitant to commit. I initially thought the topic was a little too broad to provide any meaningful information. However, when the event planner at NBI explained the actual topics for discussion and the attorneys committed to presenting them, I quickly changed my mind.
This upcoming seminar is going to provide a wealth of information. I am going to speak about some interesting Alabama appellate decisions in 2010 as well as current product recalls that impact the safety of our citizens. My good friend and fellow attorney, Tony Graffeo, is going to speak about several issues, including expert witnesses. Tony and I have worked together on several cases, including, recently, a complex business and environmental case against a large chemical company. He understands well the issues and challenges involving expert witnesses. Another good friend and excellent attorney, Eric Artrip, is also going to address several topics, including insurance liens and subrogation. This is a topic that presents a daily challenge to attorneys handling personal injury cases. I think this seminar will be excellent. Thankfully, I get to present first so I can sit back and enjoy the rest of the presentations. If you are an attorney in North Alabama, think about attending this event.
