A Revolutionary Approach to Malpractice Defense TM

 

  Welcome to Malpractice Defense Service’s home page. It is with great regret that, after many years of service, we are no longer providing services to the medical community. While we firmly support the rights of physicians and other members, the response from the medical community over 5 years was not strong enough to justify staying in business. If you are a member of the medical community and would like to learn more about the malpractice crisis, please go to www.doctorsadvocate.org. Neither MDS nor its employees, associates or contractors endorse any other service, including Doctor's Advocate. However, as a service to the medical community, we provide the following information as written by Doctor's Advocate:

"Doctor’s Advocate: Keeping Physicians in the Exam Room and Out of the Courtroom: Most doctors will be named in a medical malpractice lawsuit – guilty or not. While many of these lawsuits are frivolous, the personal, financial, and professional consequences are significant. By joining Doctor’s Advocate, you have the opportunity to protect yourself and your practice for less than the cost of a premium cup of coffee per day. Members who are sued are appointed a personal attorney who will immediately fight to get frivolous lawsuits dropped. Visit www.doctorsadvocate.org to learn more about how we are keeping physicians in the exam room and out of the courtroom."

Founded by physicians and attorneys, MALPRACTICE DEFENSE SERVICESTM (MDS)TM has been serving the Medical and Legal communities since 2004. We are dedicated to the permanent reduction of malpractice lawsuits, premiums, judgments and settlements via the active monitoring of, and aggressive intervention and participation in, malpractice litigation.

Medical practitioners are being subjected to frivolous lawsuits that affect their professional and private lives. Unfortunately for the defendants involved in these lawsuits, there is nobody who is truly on their side. The insurance-appointed counsel, paid hourly, is looking out for the best interests of the insurance company, not the doctor, and has no incentive to have the physician removed from the litigation as soon as possible. Why is this?

  1. The insurance-appointed counsel is paid hourly and has little to no incentive to remove the doctor as soon as possible. It’s all about the billable hours;
  2. The insurance company pays the insurance-appointed attorney’s bill;
  3. It’s the insurance company’s money at stake in a settlement or judgment; and,
  4. The insurance company directs the attorney’s actions.

The real client is the insurance company.

Thus, most medical practitioners have been forced to hire private counsel to augment the insurance-appointed counsel in malpractice litigation. That can cost from $10,000 to $40,000 or more. We are a retainer-based organization that was created to be more than affordable to the medical community, while providing them with the highest level of malpractice defense. Not just before or at the beginning of litigation, but throughout the entire process. 

Unlike other “services” run by profiteers, MDS, the original, serves as your personal attorney, answerable only to you. In other words, MDS, unlike those other “services”, does not simply write a few letters on your behalf and then refer you to an outside law firm. MDS truly is the doctor’s advocate. We stay by your side and provide you with the voice of which you’ve been deprived.

MDS will help you regardless of your location. And, only MDS, the original, has the Risk Assessment AlgorithmSM, an actuarial tool used to guarantee you the lowest possible monthly fee. Further, MDS’ fees may be deductible as a legitimate business expense.

We are committed to the highest standards of ethics in law and medicine.
