About the course

Why You Cannot Ignore This

Medical negligence cases are rising rapidly. Doctors are being taken to court, paying huge compensations, and even facing criminal charges. Ignorance of law is no excuse — and lack of medico‑legal knowledge is now one of the biggest risks in clinical practice. Patients increasingly use AI tools to detect documentation errors, leading to legal harassment and inflated claims.

A single mistake in consent, communication, or documentation can destroy years of reputation.

Recent compensations show the scale of danger: ₹11 crore in Kunal Saha vs Dr. Sukumar Mukherjee, ₹1.38 crore with 18% penal interest in V. Krishnakumar vs State of Tamil Nadu, ₹1 crore in Indu Sharma vs Apollo Hospital, and ₹76 lakhs in Maharaja Agrasen Hospital vs Master Rishabh Sharma. Medical negligence litigation has become the new “Motor Vehicle Accident” case — easy to file and financially rewarding for complainants.

To protect doctors from preventable legal damage, the Medicolegal Masterclasses for Doctors provide structured, case‑based, practical training through 8 focused modules. All sessions are pre‑recorded for flexible learning, supported by a dedicated course coordinator.
