Ensuring Professionalism and Expertise in Medico-Legal Services
In today’s legal scenario, medico-legal matters are becoming an important concern for businessmen. In these cases, practitioners often face lawsuits for damages caused by medical errors. These cases can be complex and challenging, as they require understanding both medical and legal aspects.
Recent research has revealed a noteworthy surge in issues faced by doctors. The rising consumer awareness, the influence of media, and the limited time available to establish patient relationships have contributed to this alarming trend. Annually, there has been an astonishing 200% increase in cases reaching the courts, alongside a substantial 340% rise in escalations against doctors.
Moreover, court convictions against doctors are on the rise due to insufficient technical support, such as a lack of expertise in forensic and medico-legal matters. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of true professional firms that provide comprehensive support to doctors.
