New CLE: 10 Ways to Prepare Top Civil Injury Settlement Demands

By Lynne DeVenny

The Paralegal Mentor

On Tuesday, March 1, 2011, at 1:00 p.m. EST, my Paralegal Voice co-host, as well as the one and only Paralegal Mentor, Vicki Voisin, and I are teaming up to present a new online CLE course, "10 Ways to Prepare Top Civil Injury Settlement Demands". You can earn 1.5 hours of CLE credit without leaving the comfort of your desk at work, or your home office.

We'll talk about how to make the most of your client's civil injury claim from the day your firm accepts the case until you finalize the settlement demand that establishes your firm's experience and credibility, and provides the evidence the insurance adjuster needs to evaluate the damages. There's much more to an effective settlement demand package than simply gathering medical records and bills, and a knowledgeable paralegal can be indispensable to a successful outcome.

• How to manage civil injury cases from A-Z
