Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This article explores why the national court system has seen a steady influx of claims alleging practitioners' failure properly to perform vasectomy or ensure sterilization and the manner in which that influx has caused physicians to reassess their methods of practicing medicine in an increasingly litigious environment and make the appropriate and necessary accommodations. Through their experiences as medical malpractice litigators and through the analysis of reported cases, national jury verdicts, and insurance claims made and paid in lawsuits arising from claims regarding the performance of vasectomy, the authors enlighten the reader as to the legal theories and hurdles applicable to such claims and the medical theories most often elucidated and litigated by the patients who bring them. Also offered are suggestions as to the manner in which the practitioner may be proactive in both preventing and defending exposure to malpractice litigation. |
