The malpractice litigation crisis affects all clinical health-care professionals. Providers are sued by patients for professional (treatment-related) negligence, injury from defective products, breach of contract, and/or intentional acts and omissions. Because orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) focuses on both professional product and service delivery, prosthetists and orthotists are particularly vulnerable to professional negligence and product liability claims. While it is vital to maintain an altruistic focus in care delivery, clinicians and managers also must practice effective malpractice risk management. Of particular importance is the generation of legally acceptable incident reports when patients are injured during evaluation or treatment.
