Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Ophthalmologists continue to face a wave of medical malpractice lawsuits over eye products, trauma injuries, LASIK procedures, cataracts, corneal treatments, glaucoma, and refractive surgery, and more.
There are a wide range of allegations in ophthalmology suits, such as failing to obtain adequate informed consent, having an unsafe office environment, failing to fully document patient information, abandoning patients, misdiagnosing conditions, equipment malfunction, making surgical errors, and failing to follow-up or show empathy.
Unique and complicated proof issues abound in eye injury lawsuits, whether injuries arise from ophthalmic surgery, neurosurgery, diabetes or auto accidents. Because almost all medical-liability litigation involves the testimony of medical experts, counsel should be familiar with the 2022 American Academy of Ophthalmology Advisory Opinion on Expert Witness Testimony.
Listen as our panelist examines malpractice claims against ophthalmologists and discusses special eye injury proof issues when vision loss is alleged.
Presented By

Nationwide, he has successfully tried or settled nearly two dozen LASIK or related eye negligence cases.
