Description

View Seminar Details

Join us for this year's Strictly Automotive Seminar, which will focus on regulatory updates in the United States and Canada related to the right to repair, early warning defects, and incident reporting. Automotive safety experts will share their in-depth knowledge on driver behavior in motor vehicle collisions and the biomechanics of injuries in frontal airbag deployments. Plus, attendees will have the opportunity to benefit from a presentation by in-house counsel and experienced trial counsel. A variety of topics will be covered, including strategies to address post-pandemic changes in juror attitudes towards damages. Recent examples of the effectiveness of these strategies will also be provided.
