20 Feb: Unsealing Medical Malpractice Settlements – A Win For Patient Safety

A New Jersey Superior Court’s recent decision to unseal malpractice settlements against doctors is a significant step in strengthening consumer protection in the practice of medicine. It is a step which is long overdue.

This decision will allow patients to protect themselves from bad doctors.
