SUMMARY:Medical Terminology for Legal Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Illinois Paralegal Association\nDesigned for paralegals and legal support staff handling personal injury\, workers’ compensation\, and insurance defense claims\, this course bridges the gap between documented medical restrictions and real-world physical mobility. Attendees will learn to translate clinical terminology into observable body mechanics to better evaluate claim validity and support case strategy. \nSession Agenda: Webinar-Flyer-12.10.26.pdf \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Connect Specific Injury Claims to Observable Physical Movements\nIdentify how common injury claims (such as herniated discs\, whiplash\, ACL tears\, rotator cuff injuries\, and carpal tunnel syndrome) manifest during routine daily activities.\nMap medical terminology to real-world functional tasks to better analyze claimant assertions against objective evidence.\n2. Recognize Inconsistencies in Body Mechanics\nDifferentiate between anatomical movement patterns (e.g.\, flexion vs. extension\, stooping vs. squatting\, power vs. pinch grip) to spot physical capabilities or limitations.\nGain a brief understanding of prescribed mobility aids and orthopedic devices.\n3. Optimize Surveillance Analysis and Medical Discrepancy Reporting for Case Strategy\nMaster comparing video evidence directly against medical records\, physical therapy notes\, and deposition testimony to expose key discrepancies during mediation and negotiations. \nCLE Hours = 1 Substantive
