Deterrence, Early Action, Countersuit Prosecution...
Run by physicians for physicians, Medical Justice® offers proactive services that protect physicians' reputations and deter proponents of frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits.
Medical Justice Works...
Nationwide, physicians are sued for medical malpractice at a rate of 8-10%
For Medical Justice members who implement the full system, the rate falls BELOW 1%!
How We Do It...
While Medical Justice is sensitive to the fact there are legitimate claims by patients who have been harmed by negligent care, the fact remains that the majority of medical malpractice cases are ultimately deemed without merit. Medical Justice harnesses the principles of medicine, law, and business to defeat dishonest plaintiffs, unethical medical malpractice attorneys, and unscrupulous expert witnesses, using three key objectives:
- Deter frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits
- Warn proponents of medical malpractice lawsuits with a strategic Early Action Program
- Enable members to take corrective legal action or pursue such action in Medical Justice's name when requested and appropriate
Medical Justice protects physicians' reputations and deters proponents of frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits in three primary ways:
- Medical Justice members are licensed to use Medical Justice's intellectual property; deterring meritless legal actions, creating a critical practice infrastructure to strengthen the future use of legal remedies should a frivolous suit be pursued.
- When a claim is made against a member physician, Medical Justice activates an early action strategy. Not infrequently, this facet is enough to persuade the plaintiff to drop a meritless case.
- If a frivolous case proceeds to court and results in a win for the physician, it is reviewed by other Medical Justice members in the same field of practice to determine whether the medical testimony violated professional ethical standards. If the answer is yes, Medical Justice directly pursues sanctions in extralegal venues. This benefit inures not only to the member in question, but also to all members, by preventing unethical parties from causing future harm to others. Medical Justice will also, if warranted, allocate up to $100,000 to pursue a countersuit directly against the proponent of the lawsuit.
