LR2 | The Science Fiction of Medical Causation (Room South Pacific D)

05 Dec 18
2:30 PM - 3:45 PM

Tracks: Learning/Reskilling, Legal/Regulatory Issues

Evidence-based medicine is an integral element of injured workers’ medical care. In the courtroom, however, medical evidence required to prove causation is often lacking or inadequate. As a result, judges, attorneys and patients can negate the research and scientific evidence that can establish evidence-based causation beyond a reasonable doubt. Three experts will discuss current system pitfalls, compare workers’ comp medicine to “real-world medicine,” and explain how you can inject evidence-based causation into workers’ comp litigation to help injured workers quickly receive proper benefits and reduce frictional waste with a more sensible system.
