What to do if a plaintiff’s attorney calls you

Do not call back is the take-home message:

Of the many reasons a plaintiffs’ attorney might call you, none are to your benefit. If the attorney thinks you have some malpractice liability, he may want to pump you for information in the hope that you’ll say something that will make his case for him. Or if the primary defendant is a doctor who treated the patient before you did, the attorney may be angling for a free assessment of the patient’s condition and/or free expert testimony to assess and document the damages.
