Medical Advisory Services will be presenting at the HB Litigation Conference "Oil in the Gulf: Litigation & Insurance Coverage Conference" to be held November 4-5, 2010 at Miami Beach, Florida. The presentation will cover:

• The impact of the oil spill on general health: skin, pulmonary and intestinal reactions to exposure
• The dispersants: what is in it, where is it banned, and will it cause physical injury
• The kinds of experts you will need to assess personal injury claims arising out of the spill-from the expert’s perspective
• Documenting or refuting health effects, from both sides of the table
• Understanding the medical work up clients will require
• What makes one case stronger than another
• Medical monitoring-is it warranted and what would it look like?
• Secondary health effects on ecosystem damage and environmental
• Indirect, stress-related effects, including PTSD
