Obstetrics and gynaecology are seeing growing numbers of legal disagreements with high levels of damages. Often the insurer, or the patient, reaches an out-of-court settlement with the doctor. This book, which is unique in the field, contains a large number of case examples from forensic obstetrics, special considerations in evaluation, the level of damages and the judgements reached. The case examples, which are both authentic and memorable, are helpful in drawing up and judging statements of expert opinion on obstetrical cases.
