PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 14, 2012 - The National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference® (NWCDC) has partnered with legal research giant LexisNexis to enhance the conference program track, Solving Legal/Regulatory Issues.  And, contrary to what audiences would think, the track sessions are designed for workers’ comp, disability and return-to-work professionals, not just attorneys.

•   Causation: Medical, Versus Legal, Impairment, and Mental Trauma

Attendees will receive in-person guidance from thought leaders they hear from in the LexisNexis Workers' Compensation Law community, plus others beyond that, while brainstorming best practices and solutions.
