Dear Colleague,
Are you at risk from a "shotgun" lawsuit? Or from a "strike" suit?
In this age of relentlessly rising malpractice premiums and
aggressive lawyering, is there anything that you can do?
The answer is yes, but it does not involve tort reform or the
promises of either presidential candidate. Some doctors are now
successfully fighting back, using Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, which gives med-mal lawyers a taste of their own
medicine.
Please join Max Mehlman, J.D., Arthur E. Petersilge Professor of Law
and Director of the Law-Medicine Center, Case Western Reserve
University School of Law, as he walks us through some recent court
cases where determined medical professionals are "Striking Back." One
