Basics Series: Pump the Brakes - Going Back to the Basics of Trucking Law
Session Description:
To successfully defend a truck accident lawsuit, we all need a solid foundation. And the only way to build that foundation is to follow – and embrace – some very critical, fundamental steps.
Join Mike H. Bassett of The Bassett Firm and Whitney Lay Greene of Drew | Eckl | Farnham for a one hour webinar that will explore the steps and concepts necessary to build a defense that is solid and will weather the storm of an increasingly aggressive Plaintiff’s bar.
