Have you heard of the reptile approach to arguing cases? Do you know there is a reptile in the courtroom? Legal nurse consultants need to know about this common approach to cases. In this issue of Iyer’s Insights I explore the reptile approach to litigation.
Developed by plaintiff attorney Don Keenan and jury consultant David Ball, their 2009 book called the Reptile Theory has swept through the plaintiff and defense bar. Both sides argue about it – the plaintiff attorneys assert it works. The defense attorneys argue it is based on dubious science and not allowed by some laws, but also know that it works.
Listen in as Pat Iyer chats about these points:
- What is the reptile theory?
- What does it mean to have a reptile in the courtroom?
- What is the incidence and cost of medication errors?
- What are the many causes of medication errors
- How to apply reptile approaches to a ten-fold overdose case
- Suggested questions of the nurse defendant which focus on general safety and danger rules
- How reptile questioning keeps the focus on the liability issues surrounding a medication error
- Why building a case strategy incorporating reptile concepts may help to solidify a case and encourage the defense to consider an early settlement
