Wilson Elser is hosting a webinar on March 4 that will address “Human Factors in Sports Concussion & CTE Litigation.” The firm frames the discussion as follows: “There is no shortage of lawsuits brought against helmet manufacturers, sport administrators and governing bodies. Plaintiffs include former athletes who competed at all levels of their respective sport. They invariably claim that the manufacturer, the team or the governing body failed to give adequate warning about the risk of brain injury. Defense of these lawsuits turns on the adequacy of warnings and other communications. But what constitutes a sufficient warning?” The featured guest panelist will be Joseph B. Sala, Ph.D., the leader of the Human Factors practice at engineering and consulting firm Exponent, which focuses on the cognitive, perceptual, physical, and developmental human factors issues relating to accidents and injuries. Wilson Elser partners Anthony Corleto and Anthony Strasius will join Dr. Sala in the discussion, which begins at 1 p.m. and lasts an hour. To register, visit this link.
