Dr. Jeffrey Segal comments, “We are delighted to establish this partnership with the NJSPS. There are significant synergies between the two organizations and Medical Justice is honored to deliver our unique and cost-effective medico-legal solutions to New Jersey-based plastic surgeons.” Dr. Gary Smotrich, President of the NJSPS, expressed “In our continued commitment to deliver solutions consistent with the NJSPS mission to our constituents, we are pleased to be working with Medical Justice in extending affordable medico-legal solutions to our members.” He added, “Healthcare should be about quality care, about decisions made between physicians and their patients with the goal of providing the best care possible. Medical Justice offers a way to help make that happen.”

We’re fans of the British professional liability system. Across the Pond, the loser pays the legal fees of the winner. Not surprisingly, there, medical malpractice cases are screened more diligently before going forward. The cost of getting it wrong is stiff. So, what happened to the convicted Lockerbie bomber? His tale has nothing to do [...]

When 95% of all physicians are sued at some time during their career, it’s a wise move to do all you can to prevent those suits from ever being filed. What’s more, some insurance carriers may even quote members discounted rates!

In a climate that makes indirect practice more and more attractive, where is the next generation of General Practitioners, primary care providers, coming from? The simple answer, statistically, is that eventually there will be none. Though doctors and dentists may aspire towards helping patients on a one-on-one basis, they simply cannot afford those risks. The few who choose to pursue that dream, to brave the boiling broth, will be doing so at their own peril. Who protects the doctors while they are protecting their patients?

Since 95% of all doctors will be sued for malpractice at some time in their career, it’s a wise move to ensure that you minimize the impact of that suit… Medical Justice members have reported that these techniques and their membership alone have stopped a lawsuit dead in its tracks.

…it’s easy to see the veiled path accurately when you have the advantage of already knowing where that path is going, but that isn’t the scenario that the defendant was working with at the time. If 30 out of 31 doctors would have come to the same conclusion you did in the same circumstances you had, it’s ludicrous to try to claim any sort of malpractice has occurred.
