Thomas A. Moore, a senior partner of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, write that whether a physician-patient relationship between the injured person and the doctor whose treatment is being criticized is one of the more vexing issues in medical malpractice litigation and a recurring theme in appellate decisions. One type of case which has often hinged on the determination of whether there was a physician-patient relationship involves a physical examination undertaken not for the purpose of treatment, but to evaluate the person examined for the benefit of third parties such as insurers, employers or adversaries in personal injury litigation. A recent Appellate Division opinion has taken a new view of such cases.

Thomas A. Moore, senior partner of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, write that summary judgment motions should be used sparingly by both plaintiffs and defendants. Nevertheless, certain types of malpractice cases are amenable to such motions by plaintiffs. They are viable only when there is no dispute as to the material facts, and when there has clearly been negligence.
