Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Contract litigation can prove devastating for all but the deepest of pockets. Physicians need to prepare for war to ensure the most favorable outcome. This includes identifying your risks, negotiating from strength, and hedging your bets. Negotiate and read your contracts carefully. Beware of critical loser pays provisions in your contracts that will require you to pay your adversary's fees in the event of an adverse ruling at trial or summary judgment. Keep your insurance portfolio up to date, including the latest risk management tools, such as contract litigation insurance. Protect yourself and your practice by planning ahead.
