The Medical Practitioners of India today is scared of various Consumer Courts that have been set up
by the Government of India and the Legislation by which the Medical Practitioners have been brought
under the purview of Consumer Courts. The day to day invention in the Medical Science, introduction
of new techniques of treatement and diagnosis and the new diseases that are coming up because of
jet speed pollution, adulteration, radio active atmospheric and enviromental dis-balances have posed
great challenge before the Medical Practitioners / Medical Establishments of today coupled with the
increasing awareness of the Consumer Rights by the public at large. Medico-Legal Problems are so
technical that it can be dealt or understood by a Medico legal expert only.

It is true that the DOCSHIELD is arranging insurance coverage to its members though one of the
leading Insurance companies of India in order to meet out the liability to be incurred on account of the
Medical negligence cases. However, compensation through the insurance company does not shield
the Doctors interest as the cases should be contested with a view to maintain the dignity of the
profession and establishing such precedents, where it is held that the medical science is too complex

a subject to hold the Doctors negligent. For the said purpose, DOCSHIELD has a battery of efficient
lawyers in most of the Districts where we are in operation, in addition to a strong LEGAL ADVISORY
BOARD consisting of Retired Judges and Senior Advocates of Hon’ble High Courts & Hon’ble
Supreme Court, as a stable shield not simply to keep a legally updated status but to defend the

cases methodically, industriously, truthfully and result oriented efforts, at reasonable cost anywhere in
India.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Insurance Companies have their legal representatives also; but
DOCSHIELD has an edge to maintain the dignity of medical profession for which it appoints the
lawyers who have the vast knowledge of handling medico legal cases and also offers the recourse of
appellate remedy before the Hon’ble State Commission, Hon’ble National Commission and
Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. Even in the case of compensation, DOCSHIELD would target the
quantum of award by way of reduction of the same in any appellate stage.

Hence, DOCSHIELD take his opportunity to reiterate and sound all the Doctors, Medical
Establishment to be cautious on CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT and fight against the misuse of
CPA through DOCSHIELD, without any fear and also without wastage of your precious time and
energy, by way of becoming its members.
