In this exclusive annual webinar for active PartnerSource clients, a panel of PartnerSource team leaders will share current litigation trends in the Texas Injury Benefit Plan industry and discuss the outcome of several negligence cases recently decided in arbitrations.  The panel will review facts from various cases, discuss strategies used and their impact on the outcome, and the costs of each case.  

In occupational injury evaluation, the temptation to equate correlation with causation can lead to misattribution, unnecessary treatment, prolonged claims, and costly litigation. This presentation challenges the "correlation = causation" fallacy by presenting real-world case studies where personal medical conditions were incorrectly assumed to be work-related injuries. Dr. Melissa D. Tonn will guide attendees through key clinical, biomechanical, and temporal factors used to distinguish true work-related mechanisms of injury from coincidental findings. The session aims to sharpen the ability of employers, claims professionals, nurse case managers, and attorneys to critically evaluate documentation, imaging, and timelines when causation is unclear.
