June 12-15, 2008

The Westin Resort
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Is Plaintiff subjecting you to a Voodoo Economist? Driving you crazy with a Neuro psychologist? Pumping up damages with a Life Care Planner who clearly needs to get a life? Then be sure to join us at the NCADA Annual Meeting June 12 - 15, 2008 at Hilton Head.

Our seminar this year is built around a Damages theme with each speaker concentrating on some aspect of a typical Plaintiff's injury case, giving you tips and insights on how to cross examine Plaintiffs expert hired guns or treating physicians. The speakers will also be offering advice about using surveillance, countering Plaintiff's "day in the life" video, as well as explaining such exotic conditions as fibermyalgia, complex regional pain disorder and hints on converting Plaintiffs treating physician into your new best friend. Finally enter the world of hedonic damages, including the loss of sexual function and consortium claims. All of this and more awaits you at the annual meeting at the Westin Resort & Conference Center on Hilton Head Island.

See you then!

David Allen, Program Chair
