Best Practices for Retaining & Communicating With Medical Experts
Health Law | Original Program Date: April 28, 2014
According to the recent Superior Court decision in Moore v. Getahun, it is no longer appropriate for counsel to review and comment on the draft report of an expert - a marked departure from the general practice in Ontario prior to the decision.
So what is now acceptable when you are interacting and communicating with experts on your medical malpractice liability files? Can you consult with the expert before the completion of the draft report?
Our highly experienced panel will discuss the prospective impact of the decision and offer practical advice on and practice points for identifying and retaining the right liability expert and obtaining liability expert reports.
Don't miss this critical discussion on how to formulate and properly communicate what you need from your medical expert.
