About This Course
This CLE lecture will focus on the selection and review of potential medical malpractice cases. The importance of case selection and early review has a huge impact on the outcome of a medical malpractice case and has broader implications. Medical Malpractice cases are one of the few types of cases that require a certificate of merit prior to even being filed. As the injuries from Medical Malpractice are typically severe and the verdicts and settlements derived from these cases can be significant, medical malpractice cases are frequently discussed in the conversation over tort reform. Case review is not only an important tool to prevent frivolous cases from clogging up the Court system but also helps to improve the likelihood of a positive result for the attorney and the client.
