Love it or hate it, Artificial Intelligence has arrived on the scene. It’s showing up in real cases, in real time. At Waranch & Brown, we have already seen firsthand how AI is shaping the landscape of medical malpractice litigation, and we’re taking a measured, strategic approach to both the risks and opportunities it presents.
We approach AI in this space with a healthy mix of skepticism and strategy. Recently, we deposed a plaintiff’s expert who admitted to using AI to generate his record review notes. If the opinions driving a malpractice claim are based on content drafted or influenced by generative AI, that raises real questions: Who is the author of the opinion? What sources were used? How reliable is the analysis? When plaintiffs’ experts rely on AI to draft or shape their work, we’re prepared to confront these issues head-on. Whether in deposition, motion practice, or at trial, we strike fast and we strike hard.
Internally, we’re also identifying ways to use AI tools to strengthen our defense. We may use AI to help organize timelines, streamline literature reviews, or assist with drafting and proofreading. AI will never replace our legal judgment. But it can improve our efficiency and accuracy, which only benefits the health care professionals we serve.
In medical malpractice defense, precision and credibility are everything. We place human intelligence at the center of our work, with AI serving as a tool to strengthen and enhance it. And when others rely on AI without rigor or oversight, we’ll be ready to expose it.
