How is Medical Justice Different from Professional Liability Carriers. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/Ddj3Cx or call 877-633-5878. Transcript: How is a professional liability carrier different from what we do? We do three things. We deter a case from getting started in the first place. Number two, early action to help get a frivolous case dropped sooner rather than later. And prosecution which is addressing remedies after a case is over. A profession liability carrier gets involved once you are sued. They take little action before you are sued. They take no action after a case is over. We get involved in all three stages. So, we deter a case before it gets started. To the extent you are sued, we get involved with a program called Early Action to help you get dropped from your case sooner rather than later. And finally, when your case is over we call this prosecution giving you a collection of remedies to give you a sense of justice. The carrier gets involved in that narrow window while you are sued. And there is some overlap between our early action program and what a carrier does. But, by and large the bulk of what we do is deterrents, keeping a case from getting started in the first place, and prosecution, giving you remedies after your case is over.

Why Relying on Professional Liability Carriers is Not Enough – Prevent Lawsuits with Medical Justice

I Am A Doctor Getting Sued by a Patient - How Does Medical Justice Help. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/Ddj3Cx or call 877-633-5878. What role does Medical Justice play once you've been sued?Well we play a secondary role compared to your carrier and the attorney your carrier supplies. Your carrier/attorney is in the drivers seat and we yield to his or her judgement. We clearly want to let the opposite side know you're a member of good standing of Medical Justice and you have up to a hundred thousand dollars to file counter suets and counter claims. But to the extent that information is going to be made known to the opposite side we want your attorney to vet that letter. So, ultimately they decide whether that letter is sent or not. Most of the time they're comfortable sending it, on occasion not. We definitely yield to their guidance. For more information or to join our mailing list sign up at info@MedicalJustice.com.

I Am A Doctor Getting Sued by a Patient – How Does Medical Justice Help

Protecting Practice & Livelihood from Malpractice - High/Low Agreement. Medical Justice. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/Ddj3Cx or call 877-633-5878. How do doctors get their day in court to be vindicated without having to put their house or their nest egg at risk. Fortunately, there is something called a High/Low Agreement. It's been around for some time but it's very infrequently used. It's a technique that you must know about. The alternative is that you'll just write a check for a million dollars, the case goes away. But that doesn't feel good to a doctor who believes he did everything right in taking care of a patient. It's a contract, an agreement, that each side enters into before court. So, the doctor still presents his case to the jury and the jury renders it's verdict. But ultimately what the doctor pays and what gets paid to the plaintiff is determined by this agreement. Let me give you an example. So, the before picture is, could be anywhere from zero to ten million dollars. But with the agreement, it may have bookends of a hundred thousand dollars to a million dollars. So, in this particular case if the jury comes back and says, "The doctor is liable and owes ten million dollars." Because of the agreement the doctor only owes one million dollars. Policy limits. He does not lose his house. On the other hand, if the jury comes back and says the doctor wins and otherwise owes nothing to the plaintiff, here because of the agreement the insurance company needs to write a hundred thousand dollar check. So, the patient, or the plaintiff, walks away with something. The good news is that even though that the patient receives some money, in this case a hundred thousand dollars, it's not reportable to the data bank. A High/Low Agreement is something that you should talk about with your attorney in advance of going to trial. For more information or to join our mailing list sign up at info@MedicalJustice.com.
