Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

The attorney who handled the case for you should be handling this also as it is part of the underlying case. You should have told the Dr. about the earlier posting but since it had been posted before the settlement [I assume you did nothing after that to keep on posting up--if you let it stay on that web site then you were in effect making a future posting and certainly were in violation of the purpose and spirit of the agreement] you would not be liable for pre-settlement activity. Such agreements normally state what penalty there is for a breach of the "no tell" provision, which means that the agreement remains in effect as such action is included in the agreement. If his attorney is threaten to sue you outside the terms of the agreement, then he is in breach and you can publish anything you want.

If you slander professionals on the internet, you won't get any sympathy from me. If the doctor didn't know about the posting as of the MSC, he is within his rights to withdraw the settlement offer and to sue for slander.
