Medical Malpractice Claims Overview

Overview

Medical malpractice is one of the more complex and expensive subsections of personal injury law. The purpose of this course is to give you a general understanding of whether or not a potential client has an actionable medical malpractice claim and to escape some common pitfalls that are easily avoidable with proper preparation.  

 

Most states require an affidavit or certification of merit to file a malpractice matter. In many instances, this can be costly only to find out that you do not have a case. This course, led by medical malpractice attorney Lance Brown, will give you the tools necessary to properly screen your clients’ cases to maximize your bottom line and avoid spending your time - and your clients’ time - on dead end cases.  

 

Learning Objectives: 

I.     Understand whether or not your potential client has a viable medical malpractice claim by: 

  • learning how doctors think
  • understanding the medical judgment rule
  • understanding the likely defenses to your case

II.    Overcome objections to the viability of the claim 

III.   Prepare properly for a medical malpractice matter

IV.   Grasp how to best handle a false positive case

V.    Identify the best ways to handle a wrongful birth case
