Overview

Revolutionize How You Question Experts

Experts can sound authoritative while quietly stretching science beyond its limits. Don't let them get away with it and miss the opportunity to strike. This program teaches you how to identify and expose unsupported assumptions, methodological shortcuts, and subjective conclusions disguised as objective science. Turn expert errors into settlement and trial leverage - register today!

  • Use assumption stacking to expose opinions built on fragile premises.
  • Create settlement and exclusion leverage through expert depositions.
  • Target the expert opinions courts are most likely to limit or exclude.
  • Spot exploitable errors in treating physician and independent medical examiner testimony.
  • Challenge biomechanics experts who leave their lane and steer into medical opinions.
  • Expose fragile inputs behind economic and vocational opinions.

This program was designed in conjunction with NBI's esteemed 2023-2026 Content Advisory Committee Member Robert J. Kasieta.
