Abstract
There are many myths about litigation. This is not surprising since it is one of the most frightening and distracting experiences that a dental professional can encounter. This article seeks to illustrate why litigation might occur, and recommends some strategies to protect yourself and, equally important, position yourself effectively to defend a situation where such litigation is unjustified.
