A study of 10,000 medical malpractice claims filed between the years 2002 and 2005 was published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The study found that 55% of the medical malpractice claims result in medical malpractice lawsuits, half of which are ultimately dismissed by the victime or courts. Of the remaining cases, most result in settlements for the medical malpractice claims. The study further reported that only 5% of the medical malpractice cases get tried to verdict, and of those trials, 80% result in verdicts for the Physician. Faced with these odds, and other measures designed to take away victims’ rights such as caps on damages, it’s a sad fact that victims of medical malpractice and medical accidents rarely see justice. Families are often destriod by avoidable injuries to their loved ones, and many powerful politicians and special interest groups want us to turn our backs on them and take away their rights.
