Join Levi Bendele for a discussion of four evolving claims from motor vehicle accidents:

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Facet Mediated Pain
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Levi will discuss how these claims have progressed in the past 20 years, how we got from TOS to TBI, and the tools needed to defend against these claims. As an added bonus Levi will be discussing a new, good for defense, ruling (as of Sept 23) regarding neuropsych evaluations.
