Medical Lawsuits

Recent statistics show that nearly $4 billion was spent in medical malpractice payouts, which is about $168 million more than the previous year. Pretty alarming, isn't it?

Prevention for Malpractice Lawsuits

Most medical professionals are aware that there is a risk for malpractice lawsuits. Many of them make an effort to stop lawsuits by requiring new patients to sign a disclosure document that is supposed to absolve the medical professional from any future mistakes. However, these types of documents don't usually hold up in court. The biggest reason for that is because patients cannot be expected to read and understand these disclosure documents without the legal training of an attorney. Therefore, this practice is ineffective, and it can also frustrate patients and lower their confidence in the abilities of the medical professional.



Cause and Motivation for Lawsuits

Lawsuits always have causes and motivations. The cause is seldom inflicted intentionally. Most times it is beyond the control of the medical professional being held responsible. The motivation for a lawsuit is always the assets of whoever is getting sued. That is why asset protection is important. If the assets in question are controlled so that they cannot be taken in a lawsuit, that eliminates the motivation for the lawsuit. Without the motivation, it is unlikely that a lawsuit will even be filed.
