The Defendant will be well versed, may not be employed by the clinic or may not have insurance.An understanding of the requirements of consent, product liability, clinical negligence, who to sue, regulation of the defendant, causation, experts and heads of damage, resurrecting a company or suing out of the jurisdiction, all come into play.This practical guide is an indispensable, complete guide for the busy practitioner.
