Overview

Written by lawyers and doctors, this is a practical guide to legal action involving doctors, either as defendants or expert witnesses. It discusses how to write medical reports, especially when consent is required or confidential information is involved. It also covers contentious issues in various clinical specialties which repeatedly arise in litigation; well-known examples are cases involving whiplash injuries or perinatal brain damage. In the third part of the text, lawyers discuss the medico-legal problems of the solicitor's role, court testimony and medical negligence.
