We medical caregivers place our hard-earned money on the line each day as we carry out our patient duties. One lawsuit exceeding the limits of our malpractice insurance policy could easily bankrupt most of us. Dealing with a lawsuit is stressful, adding more work to our already busy schedules, straining our personal relationships and adversely affecting our self-perception. Many malpractice cases may take several years to resolve. Some of us have experience with lawsuits, but many of us do not. This book will help clarify the course of your legal proceedings and help you to be prepared for what you will experience, should you ever be involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit.
