Consider these key questions before deciding to accept the role of paid expert witness. Functioning as an expert witness is not a role to be entered into lightly.
Reporting a Claim
As a member, it is essential that you notify The Doctors Company immediately if an incident occurs that may lead to a claim or if a claim has been made against you. Your claim specialist will immediately go into action to protect you. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

True informed consent is a process of managing a patient’s expectations through shared decision making. It is not just a signature on a document.

If it becomes necessary to end a patient relationship, it is critical to end the relationship in a manner that will not lead to claims of discrimination or abandonment, litigation for alleged professional negligence, or complaints to administrative agencies.
