SUMMARY:Webinar: Estimating Damages in FCA Litigation
DESCRIPTION:Damage estimation in False Claims Act Litigation can proceed under alternative interpretations.  On one hand\, fraudulent claims can be interpreted as “tainted” implying damages are equal to the entire cost of the claim; alternatively\, damages can also be viewed as the net loss the government faced – accounting for the idea that there was some benefit in the provided services.  This session will expound on these viewpoints\, discuss the economics of estimating damages in FCA cases\, and review recent FCA happenings. \nSponsored by Cornerstone Research \nRegistration is now closed.  \n\nAbout the Presenters:\nMaria Salgado\, Vice President\, Cornerstone Research (Moderator) \nMaria Salgado conducts economic analyses for complex business litigation matters\, particularly those involving pharmaceuticals and healthcare.

SUMMARY:Webinar: COVID Immunity Issues Impacting Healthcare Providers-The PREP Act and State Immunity Orders-A Get Out of Trouble Card or More Trouble Than Its Worth?
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 Crisis has created unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances in healthcare delivery that has compelled the Department of Health and Human Services to expand the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP) for certain COVID medical countermeasures by licensed healthcare professionals and for certain covered persons and entities. Some States similarly have issued immunity orders for COVID related circumstances or have proposed immunity legislation. Even limited immunity that excludes gross negligence and willful conduct is controversial and may prove an illusory protection from liability assertions from many different stakeholders.  This webinar will explore the scope of the PREP Act and State immunity orders and what impact these limited governmental immunities may have on tort\, regulatory and enforcement exposures for the health industry and what risk management actions make sense now. \nRegistration is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nGregory N.
