MALPRACTICE UNSUED

Practice Points

Few of the many true victims of medical malpractice are to be found among prospective litigants

The economics of claimant and defence, similar in most personal injury actions, are grossly different in medical malpractice

Always discuss opinion in detail verbally before a written expert report is prepared

Reasons for poor consensus among experts

1. Incomplete documentation
2. No face-to-face discussion
3. Too few opinions to be representative
