Malpractice lawyers may be the key to bringing the epidemic to a close
Given the politics and disarray of COVID-19 treatment, malpractice lawyers might be able to take a shot across the bow that could be a game changer. If they can establish a gold standard of care that makes it clear that nobody should die of COVID-19, they could attach the question of malpractice to every death announcement.
Every time we hear about advances in treatment, it is a potential gold standard of care. And a potential malpractice lawsuit. When governors like Cuomo announce that 200 people have died of COVID-19, that might also be an announcement that 200 malpractice lawsuits could or should be in the works.
Malpractice lawsuits may be the key to ending the treatment chaos.
