Transcript of Preventing Frivolous Malpractice Lawsuits - Medical Justice
The Problem
“Our nation’s medical liability system is broken” - The American Medical Association
• Nationwide, physicians are sued at a rate of 8-10%
• Traditional malpractice coverage is often insufficient
The Problem
The Solution
• Medical Justice began in 2002, founded by the neurosurgeon, Dr .Jeffrey Segal to help other physicians
• We use a proactive method of protecting against frivolous lawsuits and protecting physicians at work
• We physicians in all states, offering both prospective and retroactive service plans
The Solution
How It Works
• Medical Justice provides proactive, proprietary templates for use with patients
•If you are named in a suit, Medical Justice, along with Early Intervention services works to seek early dismissal from meritless cases
•If a case goes to trial and you prevail, we continue to work for you in regards to countersuits and counterclaims
How It Works
How Successful Are We?
• The overall suit rate for plan members is less than 2% in Florida, relative to a published baseline of 15% (FPIC, Q1)
•Actuarial studies of our plan members find that the 2% rate holds steady nationally for Medical Justice plan members.
•Recent research (by SG Risk Inc, New Jersey) showed that the claim count against our members is significantly lower than non-members, within a 95% confidence level
How Successful Are We?
