Outsourcing Trial Practice - Indian Doctors On The Line
Category: Why Didn't I Think Of That?
Outsourcing backroom aspects of the practice of law is increasing monthly. The economies of using workers in India to do certain law office tasks are the selling point.
Bob Kraft's P.I.S.S.D., however, highlights a type of outsourcing which seems to provide a service not easily or commonly available in the U.S.
"MD in a Box" sounds like a new health care clinic at Wal-Mart, but is something completely different. The brainchild of Florida lawyer Dorothy Clay Sims, who became frustrated with the testimony of insurance company medical experts during depositions in her personal injury claims, MD in a Box is intended to give plaintiff lawyers an edge when deposing a defense expert.The idea in a nutshell is that a lawyer taking a medical deposition is on a live feed with a doctor in India, who give the lawyer tips via instant messaging on what questions to ask, and whether the testifying expert is properly explaining medical tests and studies.
Do you suppose an Indian attorney/M.D. could actually take the deposition via video link? If so, is it time to avoid the middleman, the U.S. Trial Lawyer?
