    AbstractBecause many physicians will be sued for malpractice during their career, they need to know how to survive a lawsuit. This article is intended to assist doctors in understanding the phases of and players involved in a malpractice lawsuit. It covers discovery, the use of expert testimony, what happens during the trial, and the way malpractice law works in Minnesota. Having a better understanding of what happens during each phase of litigation helps to reduce the anxiety and uncertainty associated with being named in a malpractice suit.
