by
Richard E. AndersonRichard E. Anderson

Malpractice litigation has become a central fact of existence in the practice of medicine today. This tsunami of lawsuits has led to a high volume of irreconcilable rhetoric and ultimately threatens the stability of the entire health care system. In order to provide physicians a source of reliable information on this subject, Medical Malpractice is divided into four sections. Part I gives an overview of insurance in general, as well as discussing professional liability insurance companies. Part II focuses on the litigation process with views from the defense and plaintiff and clearly demystifies the entire process for physicians. Part III looks at malpractice litigation from the practicing physician’s viewpoint, and the role a physician plays to actively defend themselves in a lawsuit. Part IV looks ahead, discussing the Case for Legal Reform, taking a broader perspective on aspects of our entire health care system and its interface with law and public policy.
