Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Once the immediate visceral reaction to being slapped with a malpractice suit has subsided, it's time to assess the situation and prepare for the impending legal battle. A successful outcome is more likely if you remain calm; call your insurance company immediately; familiarize yourself with your rights and obligations; cooperate fully with your lawyer; and help to secure credible, credentialed experts to testify on your behalf.
