Marlie Willer, Principle owner at Liro Willer Law, advocates for families and children whose lives have been wrecked by medical malpractice, with a focus on obstetric negligence. Today, we discuss how medical malpractice suits can help change the medical industry for the better.

Women perform the bulk of unpaid labor in the home - we look at ways to seek financial compensation for caregivers and explore non-economic damages in medical malpractice and obstetric negligence cases. We open the conversation to gender bias in med mal, pumping while in court, and how to recalibrate from the daily trauma of litigation.
