This involves examining the circumstances of the event, the duties attributed to the parties, insurance coverage and the medical and financial basis of the claim.
Her practice encompasses the development of defence strategy, preparation for court proceedings and assessment of settlement options, with the liability and damages issues considered as parts of a single litigation strategy.
