Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Alternatives
Some states have what's become known as "I'm Sorry Laws" which allow a physician or other medical practitioner to apologize to a patient for mistakes made during treatment. The apology generally is not admissible in a lawsuit if one follows. For a list of states that have enacted this type of law, see the March 23, 2006 posting at the Law Librarian Blog: http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/law_librarian_blog/2006/03/im_sorry_legisl.html
