title: Preventing punitive damages from employment liability claims.
abstract: In general, employers do not have a good grasp of the liability they confront in dealing with personnel in terms of hiring, discipline, and firing. Medical practices frequently are quite oblivious to the problem. This article discusses recent judicial decisions and the ways practices may deal with prevention of litigation with special emphasis on management training.
