SRH Law attorney Drew Kervick provides expert commentary for the article, “‘Apology bill’ shields health care providers’ apologies from malpractice suits in Wisconsin.”
The author of the article, Kathy Boltz, explains that “[t]he intent of the law is to make statements of apology or condolence by health care providers inadmissible as evidence.
