Additional Information |
Medical negligence claims are complex. They require counsel to prove the elements of the tort of negligence—duty, breach, causation, and damages—most of which must be proved through expert testimony. Because testimony is the very method of proving malpractice, depositions conducted in medical negligence cases are the most important evidentiary part of the case that counsel has some ability to control.
This new, digital-only book, Deposing Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases, teaches you how to gain control of your case as it comprehensively addresses the scope of issues that arise in a medical malpractice deposition. It is suitable for use in deposing a medical expert in any specialty, and focuses on deposition by oral examination under a single procedural rule: Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30, as most state procedural laws governing depositions are either based upon or analogous to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30.
With plain-English discussion of the issues, citation to legal authority, useful checklists, practice pointers, and clear answers on how to deal with the snags as they arise, the eight cut-to-the chase chapters and fourteen authentic, annotated full deposition forms, Deposing Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases gives you the knowledge base necessary to quickly master the strategies of effective deposition-taking.
