Interesting use of a website relating to medical malpractice defense

This NY Times article discusses a doctor-owned Texas company that has been operating a Web site, DoctorsKnow Us.com, that compiles and posts the names of plaintiffs, their lawyers and expert witnesses in malpractice lawsuits in Texas and beyond. The Times article attempts to place a political spin on the service indicating that the website provides information on cases regardless of the merit of the underlying claim. However, plaintiffs’ lawyers in medical malpractice cases have used the Internet for years in coordinating cases and expert witnesses, and there is nothing wrong with the defense teams in such litigation attempting to use the Web for similar information sharing.
