| Receiving a deposition notice or a subpoena can be a nerve wrecking. Are you prepared in what to do? We are thrilled that Ms. Tina Odjaghian will be joining us in July and discussing the many challenges faced by case managers when called to testify. Mrs. Odjaghian is in private practice specializing in catastrophic injury litigation with an emphasis on brain injury. She is an active member of the brain injury community and serves in an advisory capacity to several other governing boards in the brain injury community. She is also a certified course instructor licensed by the CA Dept. of Insurance and is on various continuing education panels. Mrs. Odjaghian has a great deal of knowledge in workers’ compensation and working with case managers. This presentation is designed for nurse case managers to properly prepare for and to take a proactive approach in advocating for the needs of catastrophically injured patients when called upon to testify in court or in a deposition. |
