Countersuits and counterclaims against meritless lawsuits?
Yes, it can be done.
This technique is explicitly codified in the Data Bank regulations. We have successfully worked with clients who have been able to pre-emptively avoid reporting to the Data Bank, and, if reported, persuade the Data Bank remove that line item.
Medical Justice provides solutions for numerous medicolegal issues – including countersuits. And we’d like to share our bank of knowledge with doctors who can benefit from it. Confirm your email below and select the topic you’d like to learn more about. We’ll email you articles suggesting solutions to common medicolegal issues.
