Bridging the Gap: Navigating the Time Between an Event and Legal Support

An unexpected clinical outcome can trigger a cascade of emotions and professional uncertainty. In this high-stakes environment, the minutes and hours immediately following an event are often the most defining for your future liability and peace of mind. In this episode, we are joined by Adam Draney, Director of Claims at ProAssurance, to discuss the "Pre-Counsel Gap"—the crucial, often chaotic window of time between an adverse event and the formal assignment of legal defense. Adam pulls back the curtain on the claims process, offering practical, expert-vetted guidance on how physicians should conduct themselves to protect their patients, practices, and professional reputations.
