Many workers in medicine, healthcare administration, science, and
technology, no matter how strong their academic degrees or how
distinguished their careers, find themselves baffled, frustrated,
and even angered by their encounters with the law. Some of those
occasions may lead to the need for a lawyer. But many of the
bafflements and frustrations arise from ignorance about what the
law is, including how it operates. Over more than a half century of
inquiry into the relations between law and science, and through
numerous conversations with physicians, scientists, and healthcare
professionals whose work rests on technological development, the
author realized that they often desire more knowledge about the
operations of the law and the legal system. This book seeks to
provide basic knowledge about the law in realms where these
professionals often encounter it, primarily in areas where
activities pose risks of personal injury. This book discusses two
basic types of law: civil litigation and other remedies afforded to
persons who ascribe injuries to the conduct or product of others,
and direct regulation by the government of the levels of safety in
those areas. Principal practical applications of this knowledge lie
in ways to minimize risk, both in the primary sense and in efforts
to avoid litigation over injuries, and in how to present arguments
about policy to government officials who write laws and
regulations.
