The best way to prevent a negligence or malpractice suit is to train your team proactively on standard operating practices in your field, and ensuring that the adhere to these standards. However, we understand that mistakes are inevitable in any line of work, and therefore, should any member of your team find themselves facing a malpractice suit, our stellar defence team can help you to prepare your defence and limit your exposure as much as can be done.

As standard practice, we encourage all out clients with potential malpractice exposure, such as doctors, to have good malpractice insurance. Next, we encourage you to have great patient/client communication and experience at the top of your list – a person may change their minds about pursing litigation in the event of error just because they liked the person that attended to them and believed that it was an honest mistake.

If you receive documents indicating that you or a member of your team is facing a lawsuit, please contact our lawyers upon receiving the documents. Do not speak to the patient/client or their legal team without your own attorney present, and be sure to document everything that you can remember without adding anything after the lawsuit has been filed.

Call us at MMA or come to us immediately and let us help you mitigate the damage from the lawsuit. Ignoring or postponing will only make things worse. MMA is here for you. We know that you work hard, and it’s our job to ensure that your career does not suffer irreparable damage from a malpractice suit.
