The Doctor's Advocate

Run by doctors for doctors, Medical Justice has been designed to deter proponents of frivolous lawsuits and systematically pursue counterclaims against them. Medical Justice provides an affordable, methodical approach to preventing malpractice cases and the resulting damage to healthcare professionals' reputations and finances.

Medical Justice protects doctors from a legal system that leaves them vulnerable to undeserved loss. Clients have access to patented legal strategies, including countersuing when court action is necessary. On your behalf, Medical Justice will:

  • Establish preventative infrastructure to minimize plaintiffs' ability to sue inappropriately
  • Leverage publicity to notify plaintiffs that you have the expertise and funds to fight back
  • Execute a systematic, early intervention strategy in the event you are sued
  • Pursue counterclaims (when appropriate) against expert witnesses in licensing boards and associations
  • Pay to counter-sue proponents of frivolous cases in court

The Threat of Escalating Medical Liability Jury Awards

The median of medical liability jury awards was $1 million in 2001, up 43% from $700,000 in 1999. At $131,700,000, the largest award was the most in at least six years.
—Insurance Information Institute, September 2003

Between 1996 and 1999, the number of medical liability claims rose 5% nationwide. At the same time, the average jury award in medical liability cases jumped 76%. And, in the past 15 years, there has been a 600% rise in the number of mega-verdicts.
