This session will provide attendees with critical information about protecting themselves and their association when litigation is filed. The speakers, both expert witnesses in the industry, will discuss what they look for in the preparation of their report so that attendees can be proactive in having the most important information documented and ready for when it needs to be produced. Starting with the timely notification of the association’s insurance carrier, the most important elements to writing an incident report and through the discovery process where documents are produced and depositions taken, best practices for helping your attorney create the strongest defense will be discussed. Our expert witness speakers are not attorneys and will not provide legal advice, but they have prepared hundreds of expert reports and will provide invaluable information on how an expert helps in the prosecution or defense of a claim.
Presenters: Chuck Graziano, PCAM, Wilkin Management Group, Inc., AAMC & Elaine Warga-Murray, CMCA, AMS, PCAM, MA, RMG, Regency Management Group, Inc.
