Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) September 27, 2014 -- Teaching lawyers about traumatic brain injury (TBI) does not begin with the topic of how to get bigger settlements, as many people believe. What's more important is teaching lawyers how to advocate for the brain injury survivor in a world that often doesn't understand their challenges, says attorney Steven Gursten, of Michigan Auto Law, a Farmington Hills-based law firm.

Accident victims with brain injury need compassion in a society that doesn't usually comprehend what they're experiencing. It isn’t like the movies.

Post this

"This lack of understanding is reflected in the frustration many brain injury survivors have in finding effective legal representation," Gursten says. "Brain injury cases are more expensive and can be harder to win, so many attorneys refuse to take them. And when they do, this frustration is often magnified by how insurance companies choose to defend these cases in civil lawsuits."

This week, Gursten will be speaking on brain injury at two advanced legal seminars for attorneys who practice auto accident litigation.

On September 27 and 28, Gursten will be moderating and speaking at “Auto Crash Litigation 3.0,” in Chicago, sponsored by the 360 Advocacy Institute His topic is called, "Why There's More to Maximizing Settlements for Brain Injury Cases."

On September 29, Gursten will be in Southfield, Michigan, presenting to the Michigan Association for Justice during the annual No Fault Institute. His topic is,"Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Motor Vehicle Crash Cases – How to Identify and Prove this to Adjusters and Juries."

"Accident victims with brain injury need compassion in a society that doesn't usually comprehend what they're experiencing. It isn’t like the movies. Too often, brain injury survivors look normal but have terrible problems. And they often don’t get better,” Gursten said. "They deserve to have effective legal representation from lawyers who understand the law and the medicine of brain injury."

Gursten plans to discuss the following :

• 17 potential "defense attacks" in brain injury litigation, such as no accompanying physical injuries, low vehicle damage and no loss of consciousness.
• New technology that can better help prove brain injury, such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI).
• The injuries that usually accompany TBI that many lawyers miss, such as chronic pain syndrome, fatigue and depression.

"This is really about teaching lawyers to understand the medicine of brain injury and explain it to the defense attorneys, insurance adjusters and juries,” Gursten said.

The 360 Advocacy Institute hosts legal conferences and legal seminars throughout the United States.

The Michigan Association for Justice is the state’s largest organization of personal injury attorneys and consumer protection lawyers.

Gursten is an active member of both organizations.
