Webinar approx. one hour (1 hr. CLE) (No Separate PowerPoint)
Your client faces a financial nightmare – loss of credit, increased loan fees, foreclosure on property, or
even bankruptcy – when a consequence of their injury is a negative credit report/rating that bars access
to previously available credit. Is there a claim for credit damage?
Attend this unique webinar and get the skills you need to properly examine a case to determine if there
is a legitimate claim for credit damage. You’ll also learn how to calculate credit damage and prove your
case so your client can recover these often overlooked and sometimes substantial losses.

is a must-attend for legal professionals who represent individuals or business clients in a variety of cases

claims, legal and medical malpractice, and fraud) in which there may be additional financial losses due to
credit damage. Defense attorneys will also benefit from this seminar as specific tips on challenging credit
damage claims will be presented.
