Keith A. Hebeisen Speaks at Medical Malpractice Seminar
Press Release, 10/27/2009Keith A. Hebeisen, partner at Clifford Law Offices, was
invited to speak at the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) annual
Medical Malpractice Seminar on Dec. 5, 2009.
He will address the topic of res ipsa loquitur, a Latin phrase used in
the law for “the thing speaks for itself.” It is a rule of evidence
whereby the negligence of the alleged wrongdoer may be inferred from the mere
fact that the incident occurred and the circumstances surrounding it lead one
to reasonably believe that it would not have occurred without such
negligence. He will sort through how this concept works in med mal cases,
a rule which he has used himself successfully in many cases.
Hebeisen, former President of ITLA, also serves as Editor of
its Medical Malpractice Trial Notebook, a highly regarded reference tool for
trial lawyers that includes research and case law on topics for lawyers who
practice medical malpractice law in Illinois.
The all-day seminar, which has been approved for continuing legal education credit in the state, will be held at the Westin Michigan Avenue hotel.
To attend, lawyers are encouraged to call ITLA at 800-252-8501 or register at ILTLA@aol.com.
