Providing samples of legal questions, this handbook for health care providers focuses on the strategies and verbal tactics employed by trial attorneys. Designed to familiarize physicians with legal proceedings and questions commonly heard in the courtroom and during depositions, the authors present the typical challenges faced in various cases, including personal injury, workers' compensation and medical malpractice. To fully prepare the reader for the responsibilities of being a physician witness, comparisons between ineffective responses and well-thought-out replies to realistic questions are included throughout the book.
