New Medmal Service
Dr. David Frankel from Iowa State and the Cambridge Economics Group has unleashed a new tool for plaintiff's attorneys handling medical malpractice claims. The program, MedMal Express, is an interactive website that allows you to figure out what a case is worth.
From Dr. Frankel: The program lets the user see expected settlements in up to 20 medical malpractice cases (or case scenarios) in real time. Our predictions are tailored to the trial's location and to other specific case features. One advantage of the service is that a user can easily try out different scenarios (e.g., to drop a defendant; to stress one accusation over another) to see what would happen if a Plaintiff's condition were to change.
I tried the program and like it. I received a report that provided me with information to help me evaluate a case. It looks nice and has useful information.
Dr. Frankel is offering a free two week trial. Just go to his website and you can sign up. After that, it is only $95 per month.
I am glad that since the government doesn't seem inclined to do anything about malpractice suits, that someone in the private sector is-which is I guess the way I would choose to have it anyway. Thanks for the info.
