Abstract
Unfortunately, the risk of lawsuit is high for the interventional radiologist, especially for the one who assumes a more active clinical role in the care of patients. The importance of assuming this guardianship role in patient care is paramount to building an active referral base for reasons given in several accompanying articles in this issue. Because of added malpractice risks, it is important to fully understand the risks of this clinical role and how to protect yourself from potential lawsuits. This article discusses in depth steps, which can be taken to lessen the risk of a lawsuit, and steps to help effectively defend against a frivolous claim.
