What to Expect When You’ve Been Sued: A New Curi Educational Initiative

Written by Kristi Wright, MBA, CPCU, AIC | Aug 29, 2024 5:56:00 PM

In this new blog series kick-off, Kristi Wright previews a new multi-faceted educational program to help demystify the litigation process.

Earlier this month, Dr. Gita Pensa, creator of the popular podcast, “Doctors and Litigation: The ‘L’ Word,” delivered an impactful keynote at Curi’s Insurance Team Gathering. This gathering was a key opportunity for our team to connect, learn, and reaffirm our commitment to supporting physicians and clinicians in medicine, business, and life. Dr. Pensa's talk at our event on the stress of litigation resonated deeply with us, highlighting a crucial point: a lack of understanding about the litigation process can intensify this stress for the impacted physician or clinician.

At Curi, our philosophy is “We Defend Good Medicine,” meaning we are dedicated to supporting our clients through one of the most challenging times in their careers. Dr. Pensa’s insights reminded us that, just as patients need clarity about their medical procedures, our clients need a clear understanding of the litigation process. I realized it was time to roll up our “trusted advisor” sleeves and educate!

I’m excited to announce we are launching a new educational program to demystify the litigation process. A major component of the program is a multi-month blog series covering key topics such as the litigation timeline, the roles of claim consultants, defense attorneys, and peer consultants, as well as explanations of the deposition, mediation, trial, and appeals processes. Each blog post will be supplemented by a mix of podcasts, downloadable resources, and videos related to each topic. We’re also thrilled to continue our collaboration with Dr. Pensa, who is a proven leader in reducing litigation-related stress.

The next blog topic in this new series will focus on “Incidents, Claims, Suits, What’s the Difference?” and will feature insights from our guest blogger, Anissa Dougherty, a Curi Senior Claims Consultant who handles cases in Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, and Georgia. Until then, we encourage you to listen to Dr. Pensa’s podcast, “Introduction: What’s the Big Deal?,” for additional awareness.

Our commitment to being your trusted partner is predicated on our key values at Curi, one of which is Service Commitment. This new series helps honor that commitment, in that we aim to make the litigation process much more transparent and less stressful. Please subscribe to our blog if you aren’t already subscribed, and join us on this educational journey.
