About
Why do so many professionals involved in obstetric care regularly attend this important national event?
As you know, perinatal brain injury cases have a hugely disproportionate share of total defense costs, indemnity payments and damages. These cases arguably are the most potentially expensive medical malpractice cases to deal with – sometimes soaring over the $100 million mark – given the economic consequences of compensating for a lifetime of medical care, economic loss, and pain and suffering.
That’s why it’s so key for professionals involved in obstetric care to have up-to-the-minute medico-legal information on obstetric malpractice lawsuits. That’s why ACI developed this highly successful conference in the first place. And that’s why so many people come back, year after year. Each year, the agenda is redeveloped, with new experts, topics and focus on hot issues. And each year, the discussions generated in the conference room are outstanding – and full of practical information you can really use.
