We publish clear, sourced writing that helps patients and families understand medical malpractice. If you work in or around it, we would like to hear from you.
Who we publish
- Lawyers who handle medical malpractice cases
- Nurses and physicians who can explain how care is supposed to work, and where it goes wrong
- Patient advocates and patient safety professionals
- Researchers who study medical error, claims or compensation
Topics we want
- How a malpractice case actually runs, from records request to settlement or trial
- What a missed or delayed diagnosis looks like in practice, condition by condition
- Birth injury, medication errors, surgical errors and long-term care neglect
- How the rules differ between states, and between Canada and the United States
- How to get your medical records, and what to look for in them
- Patient safety data, explained
Editorial standards
- Original work, not published elsewhere
- Every fact sourced, preferably to a statute, court decision, government data or peer-reviewed research
- No promises about outcomes, and no descriptions of lawyers as specialists or experts
- Plain language for a reader who is not a lawyer or clinician
- A real byline, with credentials we can confirm
- Any conflict of interest disclosed to us, and to readers where relevant
We edit and fact-check every piece under our editorial policy, and we may decline a pitch or a draft.

Common questions
Do you accept sponsored posts?
No. We publish editorial articles only, and we don't accept payment to publish a piece.
Can I include links to my firm?
Tell us in your pitch. We publish editorial articles only, so a promotional piece isn't a fit.
