In-Person CLE Lunch Tuesday, September 20, 2022 | 12:00 pm CST  Reata Restaurant | 310 Houston St., Fort Worth, TX 76102 Please join us on September 20, 2022 for TCYLA's CLE Luncheon at Reata as we welcome Dr. Frank Liberti of Case Audit Settlement Evaluation, LLC, presenting: “Managing and Winning Personal Injury Claims.”   With over three decades as keynote speaker, Dr. Liberti has dedicated his work to show attorneys how to prevent lowball settlements, even in the presence of unfair claims tactics. His view is radically different. Dr. Liberti appreciates and shares with attorneys, that fighting back against unfair claims tactics is most effective when you use the insurance companies own strategies against them. The insurance companies hired consultants who created “Procedural Intelligence Codes” that determine settlement value. Yet since 2004, they continue to ignore a Superior Court order to release the codes. Dr. Liberti reveals how to use the insurance company’s codes against them and prevent unfair, lowball settlements. In addition to his speaking skills, Dr. Liberti is a consultant and has had over fifteen thousand legal and medical professionals attend his seminars on personal injury. If you select him as a speaker for your group, you will make many plaintiff attorneys very happy. Dr. Liberti is also Founder and President of the National Accident Victim Advocate Group (www.4accidenthelp. com), founder of Case Audit Settlement Evaluation, LLC and CEO of the Spinal Aid Centers of America National Franchise. Since 2011 he has worked in a coordinated effort with Attorney’s and Physicians’ input to produce the Liberator2 EMR and Demand Producer Software System, which after 3 years of BETA testing is now being professionally released nationally. The project was specifically designed to assist attorneys to use the procedural intelligence codes to prevent unfair claims practices by the Insurance Companies and has been Real World tested and is successful. It is made available at no cost to those attorneys who agree to provide case testimonials during a limited professional release period occurring now.  Learn more about Dr. Liberti at his website: http://www.drfrankliberti.com/index.php.
