THE ROAD TO COURT IS PAVED WITH INNOCENT INTENTIONS
Can You Be Sued?
Cost of Defense
Legal judgments against professionals once were rare, but today chemists can be sued as easily as anyone. You don't have to make a glaring professional error to become subject to legal action . . . someone just has to believe you've been negligent, and take you to court over it.
Since there's little or no case law in chemical professional liability, chances are that any chemist who is sued will face a long and arduous trial as chemical malpractice becomes defined in court. With attorneys' fees ranging from $50 an hour, and up, a chemist could be financially unable to defend himself.
YES! Send me a brochure on the ACS professional liability plan for Chemists, so I can protect my professional reputation if I'm taken to court.
