What impact will it have on my case if my physician has previously faced a lawsuit for medical negligence?

Typically, previous legal actions against a defendant physician or personal physician you believe to have been involved in malpractice do not have a bearing on your specific case. Each case is treated independently, and past instances of negligence do not automatically indicate negligence in your case. Additionally, any prior lawsuits or settlements that your doctor has been involved in will never be disclosed to the jury.
