What we know about medical malpractice verdicts...

It may surprise you!

MoDocs invites you to join us for this important lecture that clears up common misconceptions for Missouri doctors. MU Law Professor, Philip G. Peters Jr., reveals some interesting findings from his published research on med mal trial verdicts.

Professor Peters’ body of research explores many facets of medical malpractice lawsuits and trials. Through his extensive studies on this subject matter, he has discovered that many commonly held beliefs are in fact not true.

After his lecture, Professor Peters will give you an opportunity to ask questions of him and our panel of med mal defense attorneys. Learn why as a Missouri doctor, you may very well look at malpractice lawsuits with new found confidence.

In keeping with our commitment to better serve our policy holders, MoDocs is pleased to offer this opportunity to you, our members. We look forward to seeing you at this event.
