I do not know if this applies to Lake Eye, but several eye doctors in the Villages have decided to require that you agree to arbitration in the situation of a malpractice claim. You loose your right to sue. They have to agree to the arbiter.
I understand no doctor wants to be sued. No taxi driver wants to be sued but would you get into a taxi if the driver insisted you sign away your rights before he accepted you as a passenger?
