Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a clinical condition that has become an increasing variable of interest in personal injury and disability claims. It's important for insurers, adjusters, and legal professionals to understand what PTSD is and how courts are responding to it.
Presented by Field Law’s Emily J. Smeaton and special guests Dr. Martin Mrazik and Brea Malacad, this complimentary webinar will explore how recent case law is shaping PTSD-related claims, and how medical definitions, symptoms, and treatment options intersect with legal and insurance frameworks.
Topics covered will include:
How courts are assessing credibility and causation in PTSD-related claims
What PTSD is - and what it isn’t - from a clinical standpoint
How PTSD is diagnosed and the typical symptoms
Common treatments and recovery outlook
What insurers should consider when evaluating these claims
Who should attend? This webinar will be of interest to adjusters, claims examiners, and insurance professionals handling personal injury or disability claims involving PTSD, psychological injury, or suspected brain trauma.
This webinar will be submitted to the Alberta Insurance Council for accreditation.
