Alcohol and Accident: The risk of many types of accident such as MVA,
slip-or-fall, pedestrian-MVA, snow skiing, snowmobiling, and aquatic is
increased at a BAC of 0.05%.
Liquor Liability: Case analysis is discussed including (1) the
reliability of blood serum alcohol testing, (2) calculation of the
amount of alcohol consumed by a patron, (3) the estimation of the
patron’s BAC at the time of last service, (4) the relationship between
BAC and expected alcohol-related effects including visible or obvious
intoxication, (5) patron-specific features such as history of alcohol
consumption and acquired tolerance to BAC-related effects, and (6)
comparison of case testimony with (1-5). Approaches to the examination
of an alcohol expert are also discussed.
Toxic Torts: The evaluation of toxic torts is illustrated in a
discussion of two frequently encountered toxic torts … carbon monoxide
and lead paint cases.

On-going Consultation: ICR and on-going consultation is often times a very
