Monica Burneikis, respected trial attorney and founder of Burneikis Law, P.C. in Oakland, California, will be a featured speaker at the 2025 CSIMS MedLaw TriCon, the state’s foremost educational and networking event for professionals working in the overlapping fields of medicine and law. Scheduled to take place October 9–11, 2025 at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in Coronado, California, the annual event is hosted by the California Society of Industrial Medicine and Surgery (CSIMS) and draws hundreds of attorneys, medical experts, legal evaluators, and industry leaders from across California and surrounding states. Known for its high-level content and dynamic networking opportunities, the conference is widely regarded as a must-attend event for personal injury and workers’ compensation professionals.
Burneikis will present a legal education session titled “Crossing State Lines: Conflict of Law Situations in Auto Injury Cases,” offering in-depth insights into the legal, procedural, and strategic challenges involved in handling personal injury cases that span multiple jurisdictions. Her presentation will explore how conflict of law issues can impact not only case strategy but also the ultimate value and recoverability of damages in auto accident claims involving non-California parties. She will also outline how differing state statutes, comparative negligence doctrines, insurance minimums, and procedural timelines may complicate litigation and affect critical decisions such as where to file suit or how to frame the pleadings.
“As attorneys, we’re increasingly seeing cases where the injured party, the defendant, and the treatment providers are all located in different states,” said Burneikis. “Whether a California resident is injured in Nevada, or an out-of-state client seeks care here after a crash, we must be prepared to untangle complex legal questions that directly affect the viability and value of the case. I’m excited to contribute to this critical conversation and share insights from the front lines of litigation.”
With more than two decades of experience, Burneikis is widely recognized as a skilled litigator and trusted advocate for injury victims. She has successfully represented hundreds of clients in complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, orthopedic damage, and wrongful death. Her courtroom success and commitment to ethical advocacy have earned her numerous accolades and speaking invitations at legal education forums throughout California. At Burneikis Law, she leads a team focused on delivering responsive, results-oriented service to clients who are navigating the aftermath of serious accidents.
The CSIMS MedLaw TriCon is recognized as California’s top multidisciplinary conference for professionals in workers’ compensation, personal injury, and medical-legal evaluation. The 2025 program will feature sessions on traumatic brain injury diagnostics, the role of artificial intelligence in medical-legal documentation, collaborative care models, causation analysis, and evolving standards in expert witness testimony. The event is designed to foster collaboration between medical providers and legal professionals, and offers a unique platform for continuing education, peer-to-peer engagement, and clinical-legal knowledge sharing.
