A Physician’s Guide to
Navigating a Medical
Malpractice Lawsuit
What Every Clinician Needs
to Know About Litigation


From taboo topic to
litigation literacy.
~ 1 in 3 physicians face a medical malpractice lawsuit—often an unparallelled stressor when it happens. Yet, no one really talks about being sued.
At Curi, we’re changing that, so you get the information and preparation you need. Medical malpractice litigation shouldn’t be taboo, nor is it something you must go through alone.
With our expert claims team and renowned litigation coach Dr. Gita Pensa, we’ve put together an interactive handbook to help you become a more effective defendant.

Knowledge is power.
In these 40 pages, you’ll:
- Discover the fundamentals of litigation—key terms, players, and stages you need to know.
- Find out what happens before trial + factors that influence the decision to settle or defend.
- Walk through the courtroom play-by-play and prepare for a potential appeal.
- Learn proven strategies to help you move through the stress a claim or suit can cause.
- Get a list of additional resources for a deeper dive into litigation.
