Submission of a Claim to Arbitration 1. An investor that meets the conditions precedent in Article 22 (Conditions Precedent to Submission of a Claim to Arbitration) may submit a claim to arbitration under:
All Claims Must be Arbitrated It is the intention of the parties that this agreement bind all parties whose claims may arise out of or relate to treatment or service provided by the physician including any spouse or heirs of the patient and any children, whether born or unborn at the time of the occurrence giving rise to any claim. In the case of any pregnant mother, the term “patient” herein shall mean both the mother and the mother’s expected child or children. All claims for monetary damages exceeding the jurisdictional limit of the small court against the physician, and physician’s partners, associates, association, corporation partnership, and the employees, agents, and estates of any of them, must be arbitrated including, without limitation, claims for loss of consortium, wrongful death, emotional distress, or punitive damages. Filing any action in any court by the physician to collect any fee from the patient shall not waive the right to compel arbitration of any malpractice claim.
