A thoroughly excellent synopsis of the med mal insurance industry’s good fortune reveals that the number of suits filed is a small fraction of those that could be filed, and likely won.
According to Jason Shafrin;
“Less than 3% of people who receive negligent physician care actually sue.”
So, could politicians, physicians, and misguided health care economists please stop whining about med mal? It could be a whole lot worse.
