Successful personal injury defense practice requires far more than strong legal arguments—it demands strategic negotiation, effective mediation advocacy, and disciplined law practice management. This CLE will examine practical approaches to negotiating and mediating personal injury cases, including evaluating case value, developing leverage, communicating effectively with adjusters and opposing counsel, and navigating high-stakes settlement discussions. The program will also address the often-overlooked operational side of practice: managing litigation timelines, coordinating with carriers, maintaining strategic case posture, and making efficient decisions that control costs while positioning cases for favorable resolution. Designed for both newer attorneys and experienced practitioners seeking sharper settlement strategies, this program provides practical tools that can be applied immediately in active insurance defense matters.

Learning Objectives:

• Evaluate case value strategically by identifying key liability, damages, and evidentiary factors that influence settlement posture in personal injury and insurance defense matters.
• Apply effective negotiation techniques to advance settlement discussions with opposing counsel and mediators while maintaining credibility with clients and insurance carriers.
• Develop practical mediation strategies, including preparing persuasive mediation submissions, managing joint and caucus sessions, and leveraging mediator dynamics to facilitate resolution.
• Integrate law practice management principles to improve case handling efficiency, including coordinating with adjusters, managing litigation timelines, and controlling costs while positioning cases for favorable resolution.
